Internet of Things: Security Aspects & Emerging Technologies

Abstract

This survey aims to explore the security in Internet of Things (IoT). We focused on the impact of emerging technologies, such as 5G, the Industrial Internet of Things, blockchain, and artificial intelligence, on IoT security. We surveyed IT professionals from various sectors, including government, defense, healthcare, finance, transportation, and manufacturing. The survey uncovered several key findings about the current state of security in IoT. We found that: • Most organizations are unprepared for the security risks posed by emerging technologies in IoT. Only 55% of organizations have implemented appropriate security measures to protect their data in IoT. • Despite the security risks posed by emerging technologies in IoT, organizations lack sufficient investment in security measures.
