The impact of internet of things self-security on daily business and business continuity

Abstract

The number of devices operating on IoTs has exceeded billions globally. This chapter aims to examine the cyber security risks of such systems with widespread use and investigate some IoT vulnerabilities. It examines the effects of these vulnerabilities on business life and personal life, and the precautions to be taken to eliminate them. In addition, the regulations and measures to be applied at the state level is discussed. The safe use of IoT systems cannot be achieved solely by individual awareness. An awareness and sense of responsibility in the manufacturing layer is also a must. This chapter investigates the reasons behind the lack of security precautions taken in the manufacturing phase of IoT devices and suggests solutions. It also discusses the details of malwares such as Mirai, whose targets are mainly IoT vulnerabilities. © 2022 by IGI Global. All rights reserved.
