Exploring security threats and solutions Techniques for Internet of Things (IoT): from vulnerabilities to vigilance

The rapid proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices across various industries has revolutionized the way we interact with technology. However, this widespread adoption has also brought about significant security challenges that must be addressed to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of data transmitted and processed by IoT systems. This survey paper delves into the diverse array of security threats faced by IoT devices and networks, ranging from data breaches and unauthorized access to physical tampering and denial-of-service attacks. By examining the vulnerabilities inherent in IoT ecosystems, we highlight the importance of implementing robust security measures to safeguard sensitive information and ensure the reliable operation of connected devices. Furthermore, we explore cutting-edge technologies such as blockchain, edge computing, and machine learning as potential solutions to enhance the security posture of IoT deployments. Through a comprehensive analysis of existing security frameworks and best practices, this paper aims to provide valuable insights for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers seeking to fortify the resilience of IoT systems in an increasingly interconnected world.
