Abstract

The Internet of Things has taken over all industries and daily life since it connects everything, starting with very basic household appliances to the most complicated industrial systems. It is also a space where a significant number of privacy and security-related issues arise. Each device connected becomes a new opening through which cybercriminals could break into a network. Most IoT devices pose even greater risks with insufficient security measures, involving cases of data breach incidents, unauthorized access, or cyber-attacks. The major issues dealt with in this paper are privacy and security in it, which involve big threats of unauthorized access to data, device tampering, denial-of-service attacks, encryption, authentication protocols, software-defined security, etc., to safeguard the systems of IoT. This article has provided an overview of the importance of proactive security strategy and standardization in place for IoT devices and services. The future growth and adoption of IoT technologies in both consumer and industrial sectors require action on these critical factors.
