  3. Internet of Things (IoT) • The Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of interrelated, internet-connected devices, which collect and transfer data. This transfer of data takes place over a wireless network and without the need for any human intervention. IoTs have sensors, software and other technologies that facilitate the connection and exchange of data with other systems and devices, with the aid of the Internet. • IoT makes available the necessary data and insights which contribute to streamline workflows, automate processes, meet compliance requirements, visualize usage patterns and much more to provide a competitive edge in an ever-changing business environment.

  4. Web Hosting Service Providers • The thought of Internet brings to mind the huge and diverse range of websites that exists. Every website is made accessible for public viewing by a certain web hosting service provider that is also referred to as a web host. Server space is leased by this web host to store as well as make available the files of a website. These web hosting service providers also provide the necessary services and the technologies that deliver these files to make that particular website accessible for online viewing. • Terms such as “Cloud Hosting Company” or the “Best Windows Hosting Company India” as well as “Website Hosting Companies in India” are used to refer to companies that provide various types of web hosting services and cater to the various needs of websites for the purpose of being accessible online by everyone.

  5. IoT Attack Surface Areas • “IoT attack surface areas” refer to those areas in IoT systems and applications where the existence of threats and vulnerabilities are found. These are mentioned below- • Devices- These are usually the primary ways of initiating attacks. The device parts that are vulnerable to attacks are its physical interface, memory, web interface, firmware and network services, default settings and update mechanisms that are not secure, outdated components. • Applications and software- Any system can become an easy target due to its existing vulnerabilities in web applications and related software for IoT devices. • Communication channels- The channels that connect IoT components with one another can be vulnerable to attacks. There can be security issues in the protocols used in IoT systems. IoT systems are vulnerable to network attacks, such as a denial of service (DoS) attack.

  6. Types of cyber attacks related to IoT Systems • Network cyberattacks • Software attacks • Encryption attacks • Physical cyberattacks

  8. IoT’s Impact on Security IoT devices gather a large volume of detailed data which can cause problem if stolen. When it comes to IoT, the connectivity between physical and virtual environments allows cyber threats to become physical consequences more rapidly. Moreover, the diverse range of devices that are available creates a complex IoT environment. This makes the attack surface wider. Architecture’s centralization leads to the attack surface becoming wider as a centralized architecture communicates the data gathered by each device to a base station.

  9. Security of IoT Ensuring security when creating and maintaining IoT systems is of extreme importance. Some of the main ways to ensure security are mentioned below- • Each connected deviceshould be configured as per the security requirements • Every device should be physically secure. • All the gathered data and stored information should be accounted for • An optimum security strategy should be implemented by every organization

  10. Conclusion In the Internet of Things (IoT) data is exchanged between complex networks of smart devices with the aid of the Internet. Hence ensuring its security becomes crucial.
