Abstract

The rapid emergence of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has ushered in an era of unprecedented connectivity and convenience, but it has also brought forth an array of cybersecurity challenges. This research deals with the multifaceted realm of cybersecurity threats on the Internet of Things (IoT) landscape. The vulnerabilities inherent in this ever-expanding ecosystem have become increasingly evident as IoT devices permeate every facet of our daily lives. In this paper, we review the various security threats that IoT deployments face, ranging from unauthorized access and data breaches to device vulnerabilities, physical attacks, and the pressing concerns surrounding user privacy. As the IoT continues to reshape our digital landscape, understanding and mitigating cybersecurity threats, in this paper we propose the attack and defense modelling framework to ensuring interconnected devices and systems' security, privacy, and resilience. This research serves as a foundational overview, urging stakeholders to prioritize IoT security in a world increasingly reliant on the promise of a hyper-connected future. By thoroughly synthesizing current knowledge in IoT, this research equips readers with a holistic understanding of IoT cybersecurity threats, enabling stakeholders to make informed decisions in a connected world. In the face of escalating risks, this research serves as a vital resource for academia, industry professionals, policymakers, and cybersecurity practitioners, all committed to fortifying the integrity and resilience of IoT ecosystems.
