CYBER SECURITY

The in the article” Cyber Security and the Internet of Things: Vulnerabilities, Threats, Intruders and Attacks," the authors investigated types of threats and examined the different kinds of intruders in a computer system (Abomhara & Koien,2015). Additionally, the authors look at what motivates intruders and the level of impact caused by the attacks. Recently, computer security and architecture has gained more discussion owing to the increasing number of cybercrimes. Computer systems have been a significant target for cybercriminals who have different motives. To address computer security, cybersecurity experts must understand cybercriminals in a multidimensional angle. Cybersecurity experts should know attackers regarding who they are, their motives, and the potential threat they pose to computer systems. Understanding the behaviors of cyber attackers is critical in neutralizing and preventing future attacks.

The use of the Internet makes use of computers and their systems vulnerable to cyber attackers.

There has been an increase in cyber-attacks targeting the internet of things. The chances of a severe security breach might happen, and this can result in severe damages. The article tests the hypothesis of cybersecurity internet of things devices. The article looks at the background information on the internet of things. This includes the necessitating factors that expose the internet of things to attackers. The paper identifies several issues that make the internet of things vulnerable to attackers. In the article, Iot devices are more exposed to attacks because they mostly function unattended. This means they are vulnerable to physical attacks. Additionally, Iot devices are exposed to eavesdropping and other attacks because they communicate through wireless methods. Also, Iot devices lack complex processing capabilities. As a result, they are not able to have comprehensive security architecture (Abomhara & Koien,2015). With the use of sophisticated home devices, the chances of spying and hacking are high. These integrated systems will create a loophole where other countries can spy, eg, the use of cameras, thermostats. Hacking can take place and cause considerable damage to the community and state. The paper cites data confidentiality as a significant concern in IoT. Also, privacy is a critical element in IoT. According to the authors, Trust ensures that secure connections are established between hardware devices (Abomhara & Koien,2015). The article argues that the identification of assessing in an Iot is essential in dealing with security threats. Assets in IoT constitute of hardware and data contained in them. Therefore, identification of assets leads to the formulation of a suitable security mechanism. Iot devices are vulnerable to attacks in two dimensions. Attacks can utilize hardware or software vulnerabilities. Therefore, its essential to conduct vulnerability tests regularly. One has to ensure that the use of integrated devices will not harm or tarnish an organization's reputation. There are critical measures to put in place to guarantee safety. Use stronger credentials to install the devices, update the tools regularly, and install the security layer (Abomhara & Koien,2015). The authors conclude that IOt devices are facing a more growing threat in terms of cybercrimes. However, to achieve security of Iot devices, a wells designed framework identifies the attackers, their motivations, and different types of attacks should be installed. Aso the paper state that intelligence agencies and organized groups pose the greatest danger to Iot devises. Individual attackers are considered to less severe as compared to group or intelligence agency attacks. The authors argue that intelligence agencies and organized groups have huge resources and expertise to conduct more complex attacks. On the other hand, individual attackers may not have substantial financial resources and expertise required to conduct sophisticated attacks. However, all attackers are to be taken seriously because they result in varying degrees of damages. The authors note that there is still much work needed in the security of IoT devices. Currently, the standards implemented in IoT devices do not effectively address security challenges. The authors argue that there is an end in the upgrade of standards that will cover the security challenges and address future needs (Abomhara & Koien,2015). Data on the security of Iot supports conclusions brought forward by the authors. The security of IoT devises a significant concern among many people. The authors have present crucial information that reflects trends in Iot security. However, the results can also be explained in the context of new technologies. IoT keeps on evolving, and there are different significant vendors of Iot frameworks. As a result, there is a lack of harmonization in systems and security standards. Therefore, it becomes difficult to establish a common standard that covers all the significant weaknesses in systems.

There needs to be more reference to quantitative research data to test the hypothesis. This research

design utilizes qualitative instruments to come up with a conclusion. This research design is essential since it offers depth in detail; it also provides an opportunity for further research. However, empirical data from the quantitative analysis can be more accurate and reliable. This study is critical because it offers a theoretical framework in understanding the security issue on IoT devices. There is an increase in the number of cyber-attacks globally, hence the need to update security measures. This article explains the crucial elements in enhancing the security of Iot devices. Additionally, researchers can use this article to

build on other researches in areas of cybersecurity (Abomhara & Koien,2015).
