Vulnerabilities in the Context of the Internet of Things

The Internet of Things refers to the objects and equipment in our environment connected to the Internet network and controlled and managed by applications in smart gadgets. Simply put, the Internet of Things refers to the connection of sensors and devices with a network through which they can interact with each other and their users. The present research investigates the mechanism of harm from the Internet of Things. The descriptive-analytical research gathers data from library sources. The fast development and implementation of the Internet of Things-based technologies provide various opportunities for technical progress in various dimensions of life. The main goal of the Internet of Things technologies is to simplify the processes of various types, ensure the better efficacy of the systems (specific technologies or processes) and finally improve life quality. Studies have suggested that security in the Internet of Things is a major concern that should be investigated to meet the goals of the Internet of Things. The Internet of Things architecture is expected to manage billions of related cases. The Internet of Things can be affected by hardware and network threats and smart application threats, which target various communication channels. For this, security and privacy protection issues should be regarded for the Internet of Things, so they are addressed at different scales and contexts.
