Security Of The Internet Of Things

In order to solve the issue, Amazon web service has brought Internet of things technology (IoT) to secure the connections of personal computers in the home and improve the crop development for the users. The technology can be useful for office security to prevent a loss that is caused by hacking as well as attacks in the network (Amazon Web Services, Inc. 2016).

While IoT devices holds much promise, there are still many security issues that need to be addressed. These security issues can have a significant impact on everyday life, such as causing damage, disruption to business operations, and in some cases even loss of life. Having all your devices interconnected using IoT such as lighting, thermostats, doors, and elevators, seems convenient but in fact this poses a great security risk. If these risks are exploited it could disrupt power or lighting which could lead to a loss of life if it were something like a hospital. Addressing these security risks will lead to more efficient and safer to use IoT devices but companies will have to identify them in their devices first (Tankard, 2015).

The purpose of this study will be to develop adequate security strategies and best practices as a guide to add to the knowledge base of current literature on IoT devices. The current research literature on the internet of things indicates that the number of attacks against IoT devices are on the rise. The number of potential attackers is growing at an alarming rate because of the number of IoT devices that are joined to network every day (Abomhara and Kien, 2015). Tools are available to those same potential attackers are much more sophisticated that they have ever been. (p. 66). This study will provide valuable information to IT leaders, service providers, vendors and IoT manufactures.

The world is getting smarter and better and so are the devices. With the improved technology, we can check our mails on our watch; control our home temperature through our smartphone and much more. The term Internet of Things is referred to any object or device which connects to the Internet to automatically send and/or receive data [1].

This rise in connected devices creates a greater need for cyber security in order to defend these devices and the personal data they contain. Mobile phones are now common place at most households in the United States with as many as 68% of US adults owning one as of 2015, according to Pew Research (Anderson). These devices contain a plethora of personal information ranging from credit card numbers, pictures, bank account information, and much more. Mobile phones are connected through various forms of communication such as cell networks, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etcetera. Mobile phones have vast amount of data and many access routes for criminals to access this data. Cyber Security experts, now more than ever, need to work towards protecting these devices and stopping criminals from accessing them. Another form of technology that has been on the rise are so called IoT devices, or Internet of Things. These are everyday devices that in the past, would not have been connected to the internet such as fridges, coffee makers, and thermostats, that are now becoming connected devices. These devices often are not protected by strong forms of security or any security at all. These devices provide easy access into their users lives and can in some cases be very dangerous if not protected properly. According to an article written for Forbes magazine the number of interconnected IoT devices could reach upwards of 30 billion devices by the year 2030 (Press). If these devices are not brought up to the security standards of modern laptops and desktops, then home and office networks alike will be at risk of attacks from hackers and criminals. More devices are being connected to the internet every day and as this number grows cyber security will become ever more important to ensure that these devices stay secure and safe for their

When computer security experts discuss their trade, the term “air-gapped computer” may crop up. To be “air-gapped” is to be not connected to any network in any way, thereby preventing remote access. With ordinary computing devices such as laptops and smartphones, this is a viable, easily usable, and powerful option. Conversely, and by design, Internet of Things devices operate only when communicating with the Internet, and, as such, this common dependence is their most critical weakness. Because constant connectivity has such severe consequences, especially when considering essential utilities, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security considers “IoT security … [to be] a matter of homeland security.” In the Department’s “Strategic Principles for Securing the Internet of Things (IoT),” six best practices are suggested for all producers: Incorporate Security at the Design Phase, Advance Security Updates and Vulnerability Management, Build on Proven Security Practices, Prioritize Security Measures According to Potential Impact, Promote Transparency across IoT, and Connect Carefully and Deliberately. While these procedures would certainly help alleviate the negative impact the IoT is likely to have, capitalism’s frantic speed makes it unlikely. Because of strict deadlines, many technology devices suffer from

Context: Our networks are becoming more vulnerable because of wireless and mobile computing. Ubiquitous devices can and do pose a significant vulnerability. In this activity, you are to think outside the box and determine how to best defend against these threats.

The sudden growth in IT investment is linked with the growth of IOT and therefore naturally an era of increased investment comes with increased business opportunities. The following section describes some of the applications of the internet of things and the opportunities in which they will bring.

Abstract—Due to the vulnerable nature of the Internet of Things (IOT) the security and privacy are those important issues for the IOT which attracted lots of focus in recent years. The lack of efficient and lightweight authentication method in IOT can make it a delicious vulnerable victim for several impersonate-based attacks. This paper proposes a new authentication mechanism for IOT called Certificate-based Identity Resolution (CIR) which tries to protect IOT terminal nodes from attacks by applying a lightweight identity resolution method and using a Local Certificate Generator in order to simplify the node authentication process.

The Internet of Things (IoT) sometimes known as Internet of objects. Internet of Things later will change to Internet of Everything which includes education, communication, business, science, government, and humanity. The internet is one of the most important and powerful creations in human history (Evan, 2011). The high volumes of data generated by IoT and technologies for the similar environment can flawlessly integrate classical networks with network devices. In this paper, I am going to provide systematic details of data mining, analysis and outlier analysis. The new analytic application will be also consider after successful delivery of required result. This literature review also provides a different perspective of Research topic’s Journal. The objective of this literature review will be providing services to IoT based business. These services include it sustainable solution for the IoT security threat and issue. My literature will provide critical review by bringing up similar topic from different journals.

The Internet of Things is a vision of a global network that connects various physical world objects to the IT infrastructure. This vision has been inspired by the success made in emerging technologies such as Radio-Frequency IDentification (RFID), wireless sensor networks, and mobile communication. The realisation of such a global object network will allow seamless interaction and cooperation between the real and logical world.

The future of security for IoT needs to be proactive and not reactive, preventive and not remedial. It is important that we bake in the security into IoT platforms right from the ground up instead of doing it in piecemeal way as was the case with evolution of modern day operating systems or internet revolution. Future IoT initiative shall have security shall be holistically implemented at network, application and device/hardware level. We should definitely leverage wide knowledge base and research investments we have already made in the embedded systems, OS, web and mobile security space. Top security software providers, market leaders in the technical corporate space and federal institutions, and tight laws shall be built to

Internet of Things (IoT): With many more devices in use in the enterprise, many of which IT may not be aware of, there are many security vulnerabilities that are added to

In recent years, the Internet of Things(IoT) has become a hot research topic for both academia and industry in the area of communication. The Internet of Things (IoT), which was first introduced by Kevin Ashton in 19999 and was initially linked to the idea of using radio frequency identification (RFID). After that, the term IoT was well know as a new communication system where the goal is to develop a network connecting computers to objects [1].

The concept of the internet of things abbreviated as IoT was introduced as early as the late 90’s by Kevin Ashton, the Executive Director of Auto-ID Labs and a professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Now, “the Internet of things is already a disruptive technology capable of determining fundamental changes that are happening in everyday life, and it is considered the fourth industrial revolution.” (Hucanu) The Internet of Things (IoT)
