Security as a Major Challenge for Internet of Things

Summary/Abstract: The Internet of Things (IoT) is based on constant technological progress and is associatedwith the existence of the global network connecting multiple devices and sensors thatcan independently exchange data. It is expected that IoT will find many applications in variousfields of services and businesses, including power engineering, transport, industry, logistics,healthcare and IT sector. According to Gartner forecasts there will be 26 billion devices connectedto the Internet in 2020, which means a huge increase of amount of data that will have tobe stored and processed. IoT improves our lives, but also brings new threats and is a significantchallenge for architects of security systems. Data privacy problems, weaknesses in the authorizationand authentication systems, unsecured Web interfaces, software errors are the mostcommon threats and vulnerabilities. In many devices, there is a lack of implemented securitymechanisms that are able to mitigate existing vulnerabilities and prevent common threats.The aim of the article is to introduce the IoT and its applications, but most of all to identify andanalyze the threats resulting from the Internet access of new devices.
