Analysis of Cybersecurity Threats in the Internet of Things (IoT)

Desklib provides past papers and solved assignments for students. This report analyzes cybersecurity threats and solutions in IoT.

CYBER
SECURITY IN
INTERNET OF
THINGS

IOT AND CYBER SECURITY
 The use of the IoT devices and the
technology is rapidly rising.
 The rise in the IoT use and
implementation of technology also
causes the rise in the number of
attacks and threats in the same field.
 There are various threats types and
security breaches that are need to be
addressed for the ensuring the
reliability and use of IoT.

INTERNET OF THINGS
 IoT is a system of the
interconnected devices like the
computing devices, digital
machines and the people or objects
with a UID.
 The people or devices involved in
IoT are able to send or receive data
via network without the use of
interaction between human and
computer/human and human.

SECURITY IN IOT SERVICES
& DEVICES
 The security provision methods for IoT is
the service of securing the services and
devices of IoT from the unwanted and
insecure access.
 There are three major issues with IoT
based devices & services:
1. Trust
2. Privacy
3. Confidentiality

SECURITY ISSUES RELATED
TO IOT
 There are three major
requirements of cyber security
in IoT, they are:
1. Access control
2. Authentication
3. Confidentiality

ANALYZING SECURITY AND
PRIVACY

MAJOR CYBERSECURITY
ISSUES
 Insufficient updates and testing and
the issues like the brute forcing and
default passwords are one of the
major issues that need to be handled
to keep the IoT secure and safe.
 The IoT devices mainly come with a
hackable password and username as
admin or user which makes these
devices prone to DDoS attack.
 Use of the earlier versions of the IoT
applications and software makes
them prone to the new cyber
technology.

MAJOR
CYBERSECURIT
Y ISSUES Data security threats- theft
and unauthorized access of
data
 Data privacy threats-
invasion of the individual or

MAJOR CYBERSECURITY
ISSUES
 The presence of the
ransomware or the malware
(virus) in the system of IoT is
very much common and is
one of the biggest threat.
 The presence of malware in
the system can lead to
misfunctioning of the system
and unwanted processing
and data loss.

MAJOR CYBERSECURITY
ISSUES
 The small sized IoT attacks
that invade the detection.
 The problems with the IoT
attacks is that the small scale
attacks are not easily
detectable and they can eat
the system from inside out
easily.

IOT SECURITY MEASURES
 PKI and digital certificates: it helps in
identification of the encrypted keys and
hence secure the data by verifying the
identity.
 API Security: API means Application
performance Indicator secure the data
integrity.
 Network security: Secure the IOT network
such as port security, disable the port with
the use of firewalls, intrusion prevention
system etc.
 NAC: NAC means Network Access control
secure by monitoring and tracking the
devices.

IOT SECURITY MEASURES
 Identity Management: It provides unique
identifier to each device that helps in
determining the how the device interact
with the others.
 Hardware Security: It makes the hardware
devices tamper evident or tamper-proof.
 Strong Encryption: It helps in the secure
and protected communication among the
all connected devices using cryptographic
algorithms.
 Patch Management: Patch management
means software and other devices should
be updated on timely.
