Security Issues in Internet of Things (IoT)-Enabled Systems: Problem and Prospects

Abstract

The use of Internet of things (IoT) devices has enabled the system and their setup to move beyond their respective domains to facilitate better communication, analysis and control. In the future, almost all the industries and organizations working world over will have a setup of IoT devices to contend and remain unchallenged winner in this competitive environment. With technological advancements, there is always possibility of threats and attacks from the outer world and the inside world. The same is true for IoT-enabled systems and a lot of security issues have emerged which poses challenges to the uninterrupted working of the system. The research paper focuses on the various security issues of IoT-enabled systems in general and the challenges it throws to the system. The paper also suggests prospective mitigation mechanism to be adopted from a technical as well as management point of view. The paper concludes with highlighting of the future research directions which may be carried out by the researcher working in this area.
