This chapter discusses the security challenges posed by IoT devices with the approaches for respective solutions. Organizations are essentially required to be completely convinced regarding the security issues before implementing IoT in the existing system or creating an entirely new system. IoT networks widely use the datagram transport layer security protocol for achieving confidentiality. It provides two-way authentication, and its underlying principle could be symmetric encryption and elliptic curve cryptography. From a network&s;s perspective, the expanding nature of IoT networks is vulnerable to powerful cyberattacks. A malware in an IoT network poses itself as a legitimate network user/device and attempts to authenticate with common username and password. Industrial IoT produces data which are exponentially large compared to that of generated by IoT. A vehicular ad hoc network is a subset of IoT that could be termed IoV. A device manipulation attack threatens the configuration, control, authenticity, and monitoring of IoT devices.
