Nilin Prabhaker, Ghanshyam S. Bopche, Michael Arock · 2024
Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud-based technologies offer a new way of delivering traditional information and communications technology (ICT) services to organizations and governments by combining platforms, operating systems, storage elements, databases, and other ICT equipment. Such Cloud of Things (CoT) are increasingly used in homes and workplaces to improve service delivery and productivity. Early adopters of IoT and cloud technologies include various sectors but not limited to fitness [ 43 ], healthcare [ 34 ], telecommunication industry [ 64 ], retail[ 23 ], manufacturing industries [ 63 ], real estate [ 52 ], transport [ 7 ], governments [ 4 ], life-sustaining critical infrastructures such as power plant [ 36 ], water treatment plants [ 40 ], defense (e.g., Internet of Battle things [ 37 ]), etc. While CoT infrastructure offers numerous benefits to organizations, governments, and end users, it presents unique security and privacy challenges.
