Abstract
The advancement of technology has enabled the application of the advanced digital technology
in different ways for the different sectors of the industries. One of the emerging application of
the advanced technology is the usage of the internet of things in different industries. The main
objective of using the internet of things is to connect different devices in a proper way so that the
devices can communicate with each other in a proper way and can exchange information. This
emerging technology has helped to implement different applications like smart home, smart
cities. The objects controlled by the internet of things can be monitored and operated remotely.
The use of the internet of things is making the functioning of the daily life flexible. It has been
seen that the use and application of the internet of things are growing rapidly in different
sectors. Considering this it is necessary to evaluate the importance of the internet of things along
with the different ways of its deployment methods. Apart from that it is important to evaluate the
challenges during the implementation and the usage of the system driven by internet of things.
The objective of the paper is to evaluate different aspects of system driven by the internet of
things. Apart from the discussion of the IoT from technical aspects the market value of these
kind of systems are also evaluated along with the future prospect of the market. This discussion
will help to identify the advantages and the issues of using the internet of things driven system
and will propose recommendations for the solutions of those identified issues. The identification
of the issues regarding this will help in the improvisation of the whole system. Different terms
related to internet of things are discussed in this context. Another problem regarding the
implementation and the usage of the emerging technology like internet of things is the security.
There is a chance of the data breaching from the devices driven by the internet of technology.
The breaching of the data can lead threats for the organizations and the individual persons. In

this context possible attacks those can be happened in the system has been discussed along with
the techniques for the prevention. In order to prevent the security threats in the system there are
different security protocols available. Apart from that the users of the system are needed to be
maintained some of the security measures. This will help to prevent the chances of the security
threats for the system. The discussion covers all the measures and the security protocols along
with the significance of the awareness among the people about the usage of the system operated
by internet of things. The conclusion is drawn from the discussion regarding the different aspects
of the usage of the internet of things. It can be said that this discussion will contribute
meaningful information regarding the usage and the deployment of the internet of things along
with its future possibilities.
