Introduction
Internet of things has improved the working style of business. This report covers the
complete analyses of IoT things. It covers the applications, devices, security risk and their mitigation
strategies. Internet of things has allowed users to access the devices from any location [1]. There are
issues associated related to privacy and confidentiality of data as users enter the system through
side doors. This report covers the security issues and the solution that could be used to remotely the
flaws. Internet of thing is a collection of all the computing devices that provide unique identity to
every device. It also allows data to be transferred from one place to other without the need of
human efforts. Internet of thins is emerged from advancement of wireless technology and also allow
all the machine generated results to be analysed.
Literature review
As per Borgia, Internet of things is another idea which has changed the working
environment. It can be viewed as a system of physical devices which are made to work under same
software. It makes all the devices recognized over the network. Internet of things makes conceivable
that all the devices are controlled remotely by offering more options [2]. Internet of things is used to
enhance the financial advantage of an organisation by decreasing the human endeavours. Internet
of thing makes utilization of innovation which helps them to keep track of all the stock and
furthermore gives control measures. They also help in providing economic benefit to the
organisation by removing the manual work. They keep track of all the devices connected to internet.
The work is made automatically which eliminates the manual work and also helps devices to
communicate to each other. They allow all the devices that are connected over internet to
communicate with easy ther from anywhere.
In the view of Atzori, Luigi, Antonio Iera, and Giacomo IoT allow single devices to access the
information from anywhere. The data can be captured through sensors and then information is
stored over the big data network. They also make use of advanced technology like artificial
intelligence so that could add huge benefits to organisation [3]. Internet of things can be seen as a
network that has all the devices linked up together. The network consists of physical devices as well
as devices that are connected to internet.
In the view of Hossain, internet of thing is an advanced technology that has covered various sectors
and is basically used to store information by providing security. The three factors that are related to
IoT are communication, control and cost saving tactics. It helps the business o keep track of the
information and also monitor them at regular interval [4]. It also adds flexibility in work by providing
quick response.
Benefits of IOT compared to traditional method
IOT has made conceivable that every gadget is associated with each other over a globe. It
has offered different qualities when contrasted with traditional ways. They provide an interface for
all the gadgets and also add up legitimate security control. IoT is where all the devise with different
hardware’s and software’s are associated with each other [5]. The conventional system used to
