Framework for Improving Security and Resilience of IoT Networks

Abstract

      The Internet of Things (IoT) is being used in nearly every sector of society, from education and entertainment to the health care system and smart cities.  Due to the widespread use of the IoT, organizations should concentrate their efforts on system security. Any vulnerability could lead to a system failure or cyberattack, which would have a large-scale impact. IoT security is a protection strategy and defense mechanism that protects against the possibility of cyberattacks that specifically target physically linked IoT devices. IoT security teams are currently dealing with growing difficulties, such as inventories, operations, diversity, ownership, data volume, threats, etc. Data integrity, secrecy, authentication, and authorization should be guaranteed due to the large amount of data that flows across network devices. However, the area of IoT security still has a lot of room for growth. The security of IoT systems is not alone endangered by Internet-connected Things, but the total environment, which includes websites, applications, social forums, and servers, is controlled by smart devices called robot networks.
