Ambient intelligence (AmI) refers to the ability of devices to interact seamlessly with their surroundings. An increased use of IoT in ambient intelligence has led to a heightened concern for cybersecurity. Vulnerabilities in the software or firmware of IoT devices have been exploited by hackers to gain control of the devices or the networks. They could also use ambient intelligence systems to collect sensitive data from IoT devices. The problem of IoT security is twofold. First, it concerns the safety of the embedded IoT system and the protection of embedded data. To protect the devices, it's essential to understand the various types of attacks that are possible and to deploy appropriate security measures. This article addresses these issues by providing an overview of potential security risks and the latest solutions and approaches that can help to tackle these problems.
