Abstract: The Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging technology concept that revolutionizes our way of living, ranging from standard household objects to sophisticated industrial tools. They represent a collection of interconnected devices equipped with software, sensors, and several other tools to interact and share information with gadgets and programs in the network infrastructure through the internet in a bid to enhance their decision-making skills. However, with such significant advancements come several issues that intimidate the IT industry, which has deteriorated due to the lack of capacity of various organizations to identify, evaluate, and monitor essential features to ensure adherence to security policies. The absence of efficient and robust security procedures, inaccurate device upgrades, user unawareness, and system tracking are a few issues IoT faces from a security, privacy, and cybersecurity perspective. Thus, there is a need for comprehensive knowledge of these IoT threats and their solutions to leverage their usage efficiently. Hence, this review paper focuses on exploring the different kinds of IoT risks and their potential solutions, which are necessary for the successful performance of IoT devices.
