Mobile Security Threats in Internet-of-Things Ecosystem
Kutub Thakur, Al‐Sakib Khan Pathan · 2021
Internet of Things (IoT) precisely referred to as IoT is a network of interconnected devices, which include computing, electrical, mechanical, electronic, and other devices that can be identified by an identity commonly known as IP and can transfer data over the Internet. The weaker operating systems of a huge number of devices, improper updates, vulnerabilities in multiple mobile applications, and numerous human interfaces in the network lead to a huge threat to the mobile device security because all of those IoT devices are connected to the mobile devices for managing the controlling operations. IoT network is a relatively new one, and many standards regarding the cyber-security of those devices are evolving and have not matured as yet. The IoT network is just exploding in terms of its size, but the security mechanism and standard protocols for IoT and mobile security are just evolving at a normal speed.
