With the emergence of the Internet of things (IoT), the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), and artificially intelligent devices, more and more devices are now getting connected to the internet. The increased adoption of IoT applications has aided the development of smart cities, surveillance systems, and home automation devices. From smartwatches to self-driving vehicles, these technologies offer a wide range of applications. Countless applications like this are being designed and developed every day that will be viable soon. Although these applications make our lives easier, they open doors to new security concerns and leave us vulnerable to cyber threats. The major problem persisting in the IoT paradigms is data protection and improper handling of cryptographic algorithms. An attacker might exploit ineffective authentication approaches to append spoofed malicious nodes or violate data integrity resulting in an intrusion of IoT devices and network communications. This article throws light on the threats associated and ways to mitigate the risk at different levels
