Thanaa Saad AlSalem, Mohammed A. Amin
Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming increasingly integrated into our daily lives. However, this rapid expansion raises significant concerns about future cybersecurity risks and the trustworthiness of this promising technology. This study aims to consolidate existing knowledge on the various cyberattacks and challenges facing IoT security, as well as to review the frameworks and solutions that have been proposed to address them. Additionally, it explores emerging trends and identifies gaps in the current IoT cybersecurity landscape. The literature review revealed that privacy breaches and cybercrimes remain the most pressing concerns. Artificial intelligence has emerged as a promising approach to enhancing cybersecurity in IoT environments. Nevertheless, several threats such as those targeting confidentiality, authentication, and server connectivity remain insufficiently addressed. This highlights the need for broader research and the application of real-world case studies to evaluate the effectiveness of proposed security measures.
