A Survey on Security Threats and Solutions in the Age of IoT

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly developing and glamorous technology in which machines and devices are connected and interacted with each other via Internet anywhere anytime. This technology, which brings advantages, facilities and efficiency in many areas from city management to smart buildings, from health-care to industry, from energy to agriculture, etc. has also brought along numerous challenges in terms of security. IoT is vulnerable to various types of attacks, malfunctions and misuses due to these challenges reasoning such as resource limitations, heterogeneity, lack of standardization, mobility, architecture. In this paper, we present the state of the art for cyber security issues in IoT. We provide a comparison for IoT security in different perspectives including threats, vulnerabilities and some countermeasures. We give some recommendations on the precautions and countermeasures for cyber security issues in IoT.

IoT Çağında Güvenlik Tehditleri ve Çözümleri Üzerine Bir Araştırma

Öz

Nesnelerin İnterneti (IoT) makine ve cihazların birbirleriyle her yerde ve her zaman internet üzerinden birbirleriyle bağlantılı ve etkileşimli olduğu, hızla gelişmekte olan göz alıcı bir teknolojidir. Şehir yönetiminden akıllı binalara, sağlık sektöründen sanayiye, enerjiden tarıma vb. birçok alanda avantajlar, kolaylıklar ve verimlilik sağlayan bu teknoloji, güvenlik açısından da birçok zorluğu beraberinde getirmiştir. IoT, kaynak kısıtlamaları, çeşitlilik, standardizasyon eksikliği, mobilite, mimari vb.  nedenlerden kaynaklanan zorluklardan dolayı çeşitli saldırılara, arızalara ve kötüye kullanıma açıktır.Bu makalede, IoT siber güvenlik sorunları açısından  en son ve en gelişmiş fikirleri sunuyoruz. IoT güvenliği açısından tehditleri, güvenlik açıkları ve önlemleri içeren bir karşılaştırma sağlıyoruz. Birçok siber güvenlik sorunu için tedbirler ve önlemler konusunda bazı öneriler veriyoruz.

Anahtar Kelimeler

• siber güvenlik,IoT güvenliği,tehditler,güvenlik açıkları
