2ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF IOT
Introduction
The use of the IoT based devices have both limitations as well as benefits which will
be identified in this research proposal. Based on the investigative sources it can be said that
the privacy, as well as the security of the IoT based devices, is the most significant
disadvantage of the IoT based devices, at the same time it can be said that the optimisation of
the work schedules is the significant benefit of the IoT based devices.
 What are the benefits of using the IoT based devices?
 What are the most common limitations of the IoT based devices?
This research proposal will be considering the secondary data collection method,
opinions and statement of reputed scholars will be presented in the background study of the
proposal. The time frame of this proposal will be presented as a Gantt chart in the concluding
sections of the proposal. The subsequent segment of this research proposal will be
highlighting the foremost research questions of this proposal.
Background Study
As detailed by Alsaffar et al. (2016), most of the IoT based devices have security
issues coming from both the users as well as from social engineers. The researcher of this
resource stated about the impact of the hacking activities of the social engineers on the IoT
based devices which are increasingly used in our society such as the thermostats (Machado
and Shah 2016). The investigators of this resource stated that stolen identities is the other
significant security concern for the users of the IoT based devices (Chandy et al. 2017). The
paper successfully identified the use of the SQL injection by the social engineers in the
security attacks of the IoT based devices (Patel et al. 2017). The researcher of the paper also

stated about the data security issues of the IoT based devices, which is one of the most
significant limitation of this technology.
However, Al-Turjman and Radwan (2017), stated that the business inconsistencies of
the IoT devices is the most significant disadvantage of IoT based devices. The investigators
of the resource mentioned that the business inconsistencies of the IoT based devices is due to
the manufacturing defects of the devices and the business protocols of the system where the
IoT based devices is incorporated. The paper also helps in identifying the stakeholder issue of
the IoT devices, which can have a significant impact on the users (Dasgupta et al. 2019). The
researcher of the paper stated that there are lots of complexities of the cloud servers which are
connected with most of the IoT devices which are increasingly used in the corporate
establishments (Patel and Champaneria 2016). The paper also focused on the importance of
the IT governance plan to deal with the complexities of IoT based devices (Ma et al. 2016).
This resource can be very much important for the readers of this proposal to have an idea
about the limitations of the IoT based devices. However, the research gap of these paper is
that none of the paper highlighted the ways to resolve the limitations of the IoT based
devices.
As mentioned by Ansari et al. (2015), safety and comfort of the users are the two
main advantages of the use of IoT based devices in our society. The investigators of this
resource stated that the advantages of the IoT based devices which are used in the corporate
establishments must be retained at any cost so that the efficiency of this technology is
enhanced (Park et al. 2018). The investigator of the resource also mentioned about the
usability of the IoT devices which are increasingly used in our society such as the Google
home voice controller and the August doorbell camera (El-Hajj et al. 2017). The usefulness
of the Kuri mobile robot was also identified from this resource. The resource can be very
