Abstract: 
This study explores the critical intersection of cybersecurity and sustainable infrastructure, with a focus on Green Building Management Systems (GBMS). Recognizing the increasing sophistication of cyber threats and the integration of digital technologies in sustainable buildings, this research aims to understand the challenges and prospects of cybersecurity within this context. Employing a systematic literature review and content analysis, the study examines peer-reviewed articles, conference proceedings, and industry reports from 2010 to 2024. The methodology facilitates a comprehensive understanding of the evolution, current practices, and future directions of cybersecurity measures in sustainable infrastructure. Key findings reveal that robust cybersecurity measures are foundational to protecting the digital and physical assets underpinning sustainable infrastructure. The study identifies core principles of cybersecurity, such as resilience and the integration of cybersecurity with sustainability efforts, as crucial for enhancing the security posture of GBMS. Looking ahead, the research anticipates a future where cybersecurity measures are seamlessly integrated into sustainable buildings, ensuring resilience against cyber threats while advancing sustainability goals. Strategic recommendations include adopting international standards, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, investing in cybersecurity education, and leveraging emerging technologies. The study concludes that advancing research in cybersecurity technologies tailored for sustainable infrastructure is essential for navigating the complexities of cybersecurity in green building management.
