Comprehensive Review of Cybersecurity Challenges in the Age of IoT

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) has ushered in a new era of connected devices that is so rapid that traditional networks cannot keep up. But the potential for this connected landscape results in unprecedented cybersecurity risk and businesses and people alike must navigate it. It’s imperative that we leverage our understanding and solutions to these challenges to protect sensitive data and our critical infrastructure as a smart planet continues to become more and more digitized. In a comprehensive review, we explore the dynamics of the growing field of cybersecurity and IoT, while exploring its complex relationship; discussing the uniqueness of cybersecurity vulnerabilities and emerging threats, as well as the avenues of solution. Through examining the industry specific impacts, regulatory considerations, and best practices we intend to educate our readers as we give them the tools to armor their defenses in an IoT world.
