The Internet Of Things, And Its Influence On Globalization

One of the most revolutionary invention is the Internet, and throughout the years it has evolved. People throughout the world use the Internet to access their mail, shopping, communication, and social media. Therefore, Some infrastructure components that are important for providing the surface web to the public are providing people to find and access what they want. Moreover, the surface web enables people to access everyday Internet use such as Facebook, Twitter, and other Social Media platforms. Surface Web is a “portion of the World Wide Web that is readily available to the general public and searchable with standard web search engines” It is mind-blowing on how big the web is and it is hard to believe that the searched contents are limited. JJ Rosen stated that “Google has placed in its index an estimated 35 trillion Web pages across the Internet worldwide. While this is an amazing statistic, believe it or not, 35 trillion is barely the tip of the iceberg. Google's index represents only an estimated 4 percent of the information that exists on the Internet”. Therefore, ninety six percent of contents are not commercialized by Google or Bing's known as Deep Web and are harder to access than Surface Web. Software servers are able to identify billions of pages, but search engine like Bing or Google that the ability to optimize the pages that are relevant to what is being searched. Furthermore, the Deep web is not indexable by search engines and as stated in the book that “

In reality the deep web is what many people use. The deep web includes things like your email, bank information and credit card information, you can’t search that stuff up on Google now can you? The deep web itself can be divided into many sub categories such as private web, software etc.

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.

GPS, drones, spying, and nuclear war are all capabilities of the everyday items around us. These “normal” devices such as an iPhone or computer are all part of an enormous web infrastructure called the internet of things (IOT). The internet of things is a link between the online world and the physical world through connected devices which can achieve physical accomplishments such as taking a pulse. The Internet of things was said to have been discovered in 1999 during a presentation at Procter and Gamble. When Business moguls were trying to find a way to make the internet profitable, they manufactured the term internet of things. Ironically, IOT tracked its usage of term online through “Google Trends”. According to Google, since 2004 IOT was

The exponential increase use of the Internet to communicate, conduct business transactions, access personal banking, healthcare, education at confront of being anywhere has become an everyday lifestyle for many people around the globe. This reliance on computers, laptops, devices and other Internet of Things to access the Internet means, organizations, businesses and the government have also seen an increase occurrence of sophisticated attacks.

The media’s skewed outlook and reports on the deep web has affected the way the majority of people view this resource that is inherently not a bad tool. The media also misrepresents the deep web by confusing it with the darknet and giving false information about the two. It is easy to get caught in the wave of horror stories that appear in magazines and online content about the deep web and the darknet, but more often than not the deep web is doing more good than is portrayed by the media. The advances in cryptography that is being used within the deep web and the darknet are creating a safer environment for reporters and political activists; even the simple internet user needs cryptography to protect their information stored in the deep web.

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

It is no secret that today everything is connected to the internet. The house lights can be turned off or on remotely, the car can dial calls and play spotify, and soon the fridge will be displaying Pinterest recipes and advising users when the eggs are going bad. It is the Internet revolution of the millennial generation - the rise of the “Internet Of Things”. Therefore, security - at both an individual and societal level - is becoming increasingly vital to maintaining the privacy and standard of living which now exists. This is the time where Americans need to educate themselves on exactly what a “firewall” is, or what constitutes or a strong password, or that the Nigerian princes which have millions of dollars in their bank accounts ready for transfer are simply frauds. It’s not just the old or

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

The Internet of things can be prodigiously subsidiary for students, edifiers, and virtually anyone in the world in an immensely colossal way. This is because of the extreme accommodation it has on individuals in a generally sizably voluminous way. However, there definitely is a security quandary that interferes with people’s daily lives in a major way. This is the trade off that individuals face when utilizing IOT.

Although the internet of things has become an existed technology and visible, but a lot of searches are still required for improving all the weaknesses and answering all the users’ questions.

Internet of Things is a new technology that delivers communication among billions of smart devices via the Internet such as a smart car, vending machine, smart house, health system and business system, et cetera. Nearly 50 billion devices and sensors will be connected to the Internet by 2020 and most of them will perform their duties without having security. In addition, the critical missions of a massive interconnected device are security and interoperability. Hackers will use more complex tools and techniques to breach the network system. Hence, companies should establish strong security countermeasures and the best approach to provide better security by deploying a multilayer approach which is called Defense in Depth. Defense in Depth

In order to access the web, one must utilize a tool called a web browser. “World Wide Web browser software, such as Microsoft 's Internet Explorer and Google Chrome, lets users navigate from one web page to another via hyperlinks embedded in the documents. These documents may also contain any combination of computer data, including graphics, sounds, text, video, multimedia and interactive content that runs while the user is interacting with the page. Client-side software can include animations, games, office applications and scientific demonstrations. Through keyword-driven Internet research using search engines like Yahoo! and Google, users worldwide have easy, instant access to a vast and diverse amount of online information. Compared to printed media, books, encyclopedias and traditional libraries, the World Wide Web has enabled the decentralization of information on a large scale (author unknown, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet).” This more formal explanation of how the web works now opens the door to a detailed discussion on the concept of what URL means.

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)
