Tiivistelmä
This thesis investigated and described the current state of the Internet of Things (IoT) from a security perspective. The goal was to present relevant information on the Internet of Things to consumers and businesses. The paper briefly explained what the Internet of Things is, how it can be applied in the real world, and at what capacity, and gave an overview of its current security landscape, threats, and vulnerabilities.
This paper had no practical research project, as it was purely an examination of the general state of the Internet of Things, presented in the form of a literature review. The study was conducted using publicly available research papers, newsletters, articles, books, blogs, and newsletters.
The conclusions of the thesis show that the Internet of Things and its security is still mostly un-standardized, as there is such a numerous amount of use-cases for IoT devices, and an allencompassing solution to security does not exist as of now. However, device vendors and cybersecurity companies are working to secure their solutions to protect their own, and others’ IoT devices. Regulators around the world are also trying to create a set of rules and regulations to keep the Internet of Things safe, for the benefit of everyone.
