2PRIVACY ISSUES OF IOT
Introduction
The prime objective of this research proposal is to evaluate and identify the privacy
along with the security issues of the IoT devices which are increasingly used in commercial
organizations as well as in our society. Numerous security issues associated with IoT devices
such as the compatibility issues, scalability issues, and cloud server issues are seen these
days. The inefficient testing and updating procedure can be the reason behind the privacy and
the security issues of the IoT devices. The use of the default passwords may be the other
privacy concern of the IoT devices as botnets such as the Mirai botnet can easily access the
IoT devices if the default passwords are not changed by the users. The following unit of the
paper will be presenting the research questions of this proposal
Research Questions
 What are the security issues of the IoT devices which are used in our society?
 What are the privacy concerns of the IoT devices which are used in business
organizations?
 What is the role of the risk management team to address the security issues of the IoT
devices?
Date Collection of the research proposal
All the data which will be discussed in this research proposal will be collected from
reputed and reliable journals. Only peer-reviewed articles will be selected to understand the
chosen topic of the paper in a detailed manner. Scholars and researcher who have stated their
stand about the privacy and security issues of IoT devices will be considered in this paper.
Mostly recent journals will be chosen for this research proposal. The research gaps will be
addressed very professionally in this proposal, as opinion of different researchers will be

considered for any security issues of the IoT devices. The following unit of this research
proposal will be the project background where 30 peer-reviewed articles will be presented in
an organized manner.
Background study of the paper
According to Adat and Gupta (2018), there are lots of security challenges associated
with most of the IoT devices which are used in our society like temperature sensors and smart
watches which are connected in the private network. The researcher of the paper stated the
security challenges such as authorization and the authentication (Kumar, Vealey and
Srivastava 2016). The paper was very much important to identify the privacy issues of the
cloud based servers which are often connected with the IoT devices. The researcher of the
paper stated that most of the IoT devices should be frequently updated as these updates help
in covering up the security loopholes of the IoT devices (Mahmoud et al. 2015). The
investigator of the paper also focused on the data privacy issues of the IoT systems which are
increasingly used in most of the global commercial organizations. The high availability of the
cloud applications can be the other source of concern for most of the IoT based devices
(Ammar, Russello and Crispo 2018). The investigators of this resource also stated about the
role of the network administrators as well as the risk mitigation team who can actively help to
secure the IoT devices from cyber security threats such as the Phishing emails and
ransomeware.
However, according to Guizani (2017), the physical devices connected with IoT
systems can be a source of anxiety for the users of the IoT services. The investigator of this
paper highlighted the role of the malware with worm capabilities as it has a direct impact on
the functionality of the IoT products and services (Borgohain, Kumar and Sanyal 2015). The
researcher of the paper showed the techniques which are used by most of the social engineers
