Researching Issues in Information Security in Internet of Things (IoT) Systems: Challenge & Solution
Mohammed Jawad Khadim Alsayyad · Journal of Al-Qadisiyah for Computer Science and Mathematics · 2024
As Internet of Things (IoT) technologies and applications are widely used and spread across various fields such as industry, agriculture, transportation, health, etc., it has become necessary to continuously research and develop information security as technologies and applications evolve. Organizations need to focus their efforts on system security. Any security vulnerability can lead to system failure or cyber-attacks, which can have a wide-ranging impact. IoT security is a protection strategy and defense mechanism that safeguards against the possibility of cyber-attacks that specifically target physically connected IoT devices. IoT security teams are currently dealing with increasing difficulties, such as inventories, operations, diversity, ownership, data volume, and threats. This review examines the research related to security and IoT with a focus on the current situation, applications, issues, and future potential. IoT network security has received increasing attention from multidisciplinary and geographically dispersed researchers in recent years. Data integrity, confidentiality, authentication, and authorization must be ensured due to the large amount of data flowing through network devices. However, the field of IoT security still has a lot of room for growth. In this paper, we will review the most important approaches for protecting Internet of Things data, the challenges, and some actual attacks.
