DDOS Threats and Preventive Measures in IOT-Based Devices

Abstract

This study explores the ever-changing landscape of IoT security in depth, with a specific emphasis given to thwarting the growing menace of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS hereafter) assaults. A thorough literature assessment explores the sizable adoption of IoT era and associated security challenges, especially when it comes to DDoS assaults and their variations. The paper highlights the human implications of DDoS assaults throughout application, network, and transport layers, emphasizing the want for modern security features. Various studies make contributions precious insights into securing IoT devices, the potential role of block chain technology, and prevention techniques for home environments. The paper proposes a multifaceted defense mechanism, akin to fortifications in a virtual town, leveraging advanced detection techniques and continuous monitoring to limit the impact of DDoS attacks. In end, it advocates for a proactive technique, suggesting future studies instructions together with fortifying utility layers, exploring cloud computing implementations, and enhancing user awareness to ensure the resilience of IoT networks inside the face of evolving cyber threats.
