Abstract
This paper analyzes the security threats confronting Internet of Things (IoT) devices and systems. The proliferation of connected devices has led to an abundance of data that can be harnessed for diverse purposes. Nonetheless, this increased connectivity and interdependence of IoT systems have also brought forth novel and intricate security threats. These threats carry the potential for severe ramifications, encompassing physical harm, financial losses, and the impairment of critical infrastructure and services. The study delves into the various forms of security threats that IoT systems encounter, encompassing malware, data breaches, and denial-of-service attacks. Furthermore, the paper evaluates the current state of IoT security and contemplates the future of IoT security solutions, considering the potential impact of emerging technologies like AI and ML. A holistic approach to IoT security is advocated, emphasizing collaboration among stakeholders, the adoption of security standards, and the development of secure-by-design IoT devices.
