Mitigating and Detecting DDoS attack on IoT Environment

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) is the most growing emergence catchword that has a deep relation to each other. The lack of securities in IoT devices creates a loophole to hijack those devices and use them for a cybercrime. Recently many security breaches on IoT Environment along with high volume attacks have been reported. So, securing the IoT Environment to prevent cyber-attacks like DDoS on crucial infrastructure is the first priority. Moreover, detecting DDoS attacks is also harder as sometimes DDoS attack traffic is alike normal traffic. Here, we tried to describe the long-ranging impact of DDoS attacks on IoT Environment. Some recommended security solutions and guidelines have been proposed to detect and protect IoT devices against DDoS attacks. Thus, the deployment of this security solution will keep the IoT Environment cyber threat free.
