Abstract

When the number of items connected to the network exceeded the number of people, a new technology appeared - the Internet of Things. Sometimes, we do not even think about the fact that everyday things that we use - in everyday life, at work, on the street - can cause great harm. The most vulnerable side of the Internet of Things is security. Unfortunately, very few manufacturers and developers of smart devices take into account the principle of Information Security. Recently, in the consumer sphere, IoT technology has been a platform with an extremely poor reputation. It is worth noting that most businesses and organizations have at least one person with a device that can be attacked by criminals. And if all the risks are ignored, attackers can be smarter than IoT devices. Which poses a huge cybersecurity challenge. What vulnerable devices can disrupt an entire enterprise? What threats can the new IoT technology pose? And, most importantly, how to protect yourself? This paper examines the most common security threats to IoT devices, as well as the top challenges to addressing security in smart devices.
