Safeguarding IoT Devices Against Emerging Security Threats: Challenges and Mitigation Strategies
Abstract: The exponential growth of IoT devices presents significant security challenges due to their limited hardware capabilities and simple design. This paper explores the prevalent security threats, attacks, and vulnerabilities associated with IoT devices. It highlights their susceptibility to becoming targets for cybercriminals and proposes mitigation strategies such as access control mechanisms, secure communication protocols, and regular updates. By addressing these challenges, businesses and individuals can enhance the security, safety, and privacy of IoT ecosystems.
