The rapid proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) networks has revolutionized various industries by enabling seamless connectivity and automation. However, this increase in connectivity also brings significant challenges related to security, privacy, and trust. This chapter explores critical aspects of protecting IoT networks against emerging threats. We begin by examining security vulnerabilities unique to IoT devices and networks, including issues related to data breaches, unauthorized access, and cyberattacks. The discussion continues with privacy concerns, highlighting the potential for misuse of sensitive personal and organizational data. Additionally, we study the trust mechanisms needed to ensure reliable communication and data integrity in IoT environments. Through a comprehensive analysis of current security protocols, privacy-preserving techniques, and trust management frameworks, this chapter provides an overview of the measures necessary to protect IoT networks.
