Analysis of Security in IoT: Risks and measures with impact of emerging technologies

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is defined as a network of physical things that include cars, appliances, and other devices, that are equipped with sensors, software, and having network connectivity. The IoT devices can gather and exchange data among themselves. Smart cities, intelligent transportation, and healthcare are just a few of the applications that have greatly changed daily life as a result of the Internet of Things' (IoT) explosive expansion. However, IoT systems are increasingly prone to different security risks due to the diverse and heterogeneous nature of devices and the lack of standardization in security measures. This study examines the risks and difficulties that Internet of Things applications must overcome, with an emphasis on the possibility of cyberattacks that could specifically target low-resource devices. It examines typical attack vectors and explores lightweight security solutions targeted at boosting device safety while keeping  performance. In order to enable the safe deployment of IoT technology in everyday situations, the paper emphasizes how important it is to solve these security challenges.
