Predicting Internet of Things (IOT) Security and Privacy Risks – A Proposal Model

doi:10.26389/ajsrp.q070621

Abstract

The Internet of things (IOT) users lack awareness of IOT security infrastructure to handle the risks including Threats, attack and penetration associated with its use. IOT devices are main targets for cyber-attacks due to variable personally identifiable information (PII) stored and transmit in the cyber centers. The security risks of the Internet of Things aimed to damage user's security and privacy. All information about users can be collected from their related objects which are stored in the system or transferred through mediums among diverse smart objects and may exposed to exposed dangerous of attacks and threats if it lack authentication so there are essential need to make IOT security requirements as important part of its efficient implementation. These requirements include; availability, accountability, authentication, authorization, privacy and confidentiality, Integrity and Non-repudiation. The study design is a survey research to investigate the visibility of the proposed model of security management for IOT uses, the security risks of IOT devices, and the changes IOT technology on the IT infrastructure of IOT users through answering of the research questionnaires. This work proposes a model of security management for IOT to predict IOT security and privacy threats, protect IOT users from any unforeseen dangers, and determine the right security mechanisms and protocols for IOT security layers, as well as give the most convenient security mechanisms. Moreover, for enhancing the performance of IOT networks by selecting suitable security mechanisms for IOT layers to increase IOT user's security satisfaction.

Highlights

The Internet of Things (IOT) is fast growth and will be targeted for attack, it considers as an internet of threats that it has many challenges include issues with application standardization, scalability, and security and privacy as IOT applications lack communications and data security, (Huawei, 2018)
Many IOT devices are attacked or penetrated due to weak passwords and lack adequate security controls where According to Hewlett-Packard Development Company, around 70% of the most commonly used IOT devices have penetrated and most of IOT devices collect as one piece of personally identifiable information (PII) Insecure data exploited to improve security of the data and manipulate university systems, (Sharon et al, 2014)
Study problem: Most IOT consumers lack the knowledge of IOT security infrastructure necessary to control the hazards posed by the Internet of Things and there are many threats and challenges face the IOT security and privacy IOT users so this study introduce a proposed model for security management of the Internet of Things to face these threats and any unforeseen risks for IOT security and privacy IOT users with introducing an appropriate security mechanisms and protocols for the levels of security in IOT to improve the performance of IOT networks and increase security precautions to the security and privacy IOT users

Summary

Introduction

The Internet of Things (IOT) is fast growth and will be targeted for attack, it considers as an internet of threats that it has many challenges include issues with application standardization, scalability, and security and privacy as IOT applications lack communications and data security, (Huawei, 2018). Terms like a smart car, smart home, and smart fridge are evidence of the incorporation of smartness into these IOT devices, (Maryam et al, 2017). Sensors collect data that are transmitted to either a network node or a control center where a decision is made and a corresponding result is sent back to an actuator in response to the sensed input, IOT can be used to leverage existing technologies like fog and cloud computing, (Abomhara and Køien, 2015)
