The Internet of Things (IoT) has seen it all from being just another innovation to a leading technology; it is now a binding force that interconnects various aspects of our lives.The IoT's tremendous growth is driven by emerging applications and evolving business models, reinforced by falling cost resources and computing.However, it's heterogeneous nature and restricted existence raise various security concerns for the network operators, IoT service providers, and consumers alike.Machine learning has established itself as an inherent part of several IoT applications and is now taking over to address IoT's critical security challenges.The use of machine learning for securing IoT provides the IoT infrastructure with autonomously updated real-time security features.This paper performs a top-down survey on various active attacks faced by IoT networks and aims to showcase how machine learning has become an integral part of the IoT security model.
