Case Study: Cloud and IoT Security Challenges in MITS5004, 2020S1

This assignment analyzes the security challenges associated with cloud computing and the Internet of Things (IoT). It explores the essence of cybersecurity, emphasizing multiple layers of security including physical, personal, operational, communication, and network security. The document discusses the importance of information security policies, awareness of cyber hygiene, and the need for proper training and technological enhancements. It addresses the vulnerabilities in IoT security, including design flaws, incompatibility issues, and the rise of various threats. Different types of IoT security attacks, such as physical, network, software, and encryption attacks, are also examined. The assignment provides a comprehensive overview of cloud and IoT security, offering valuable insights into the current landscape of cyber threats and security measures.

The essence of cyber-security

Security in cloud and cyber world
• The state of being secure or to be free from danger in the cyber
world, especially with shared data and information
• Multiple layer of security is available over the cyber world:
• Physical security
• Personal security
• Operations security
• Communication security
• Network and information security

Information security08/31/2024ADD A FOOTER4
• Protection of information with the elements considered critically,
including the hardware under use for storing, managing and
sharing the information
• Policy for information security is required to be secured in cloud
• Awareness of cyber security and maintenance of cyber hygiene is
necessary
• Proper training to maintain information security in cyber world
• Education and technology enhancement in cyber world is
required

Security concept08/31/2024ADD A FOOTER5

General usage security and safety08/31/2024ADD A FOOTER6
• It is associated with the malicious attackers who actively exploit
the weaknesses of a system in the cyber world.
• It is important to maintain safety in the cyber world against all
the measures that are intended and which are generally caused
due to the user problems causing search access that are
unauthorized

Problems with IoT Security08/31/2024ADD A FOOTER7
• Initial design in private communication for the network was
moved to IP Network. This caused inconsistency in in IP Network
design for private communication [3].
• It is impossible to install format updates right after the
installation procedure.
• The basic security has laws in the internet of things. This Rises to
much complex security requirements.
• No security in devices in initial device design are still in vogue
and in use. This creates incompatibility of falling back mode

Cases about Rise of threats in IoT08/31/2024ADD A FOOTER8

Types of IoT security attacks08/31/2024ADD A FOOTER9
• Physical cyber-attacks
• Network cyber-attacks
• Software attacks
• Encryption attacks
