- Abstract
- In recent years, Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly gaining popularity as it has a vast potential. But without proper security and privacy measures, IoT can facilitate cyberattacks as it possesses some serious issues that need to be tackled well to utilize its fullest potential. In this study, an attempt to briefly discuss the basic concept and the pros and cons of IoT was taken by the authors. Moreover, this research also highlights the basic architectural issues, vulnerabilities, and future security concerns of IoT as IoT has a cost when it comes to the case of security and privacy. In addition to that, major threats and attacks of IoT e.g. Denial of Service (DoS), Man in The Middle (MiTM), Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) attack were explained in brief. At last, probable measures that can be employed in order to strengthen the security of IoT were underlined so that the advantages of IoT can be reaped mostly in terms of security and privacy.
