Improving the security of Internet of Things (IoT) using Intrusion Detection System (IDS)

Abstract

The potential of both current and future IoT applications is substantial in improving user comfort, productivity, and automation. However, to continue implementing this technology on a larger scale and across various devices, it is necessary to have high levels of security, privacy, authentication, and resilience against attacks. With the development of many IoT technologies that rely on the internet, there is a constant threat of cyberattacks that can wreak havoc globally. Denial of service attacks can disrupt network security and result in illegal access, misuse, or alteration. Using IoT in real-world environments requires security and privacy considerations. Increasing cyberattacks and security breaches have made safeguarding IoT infrastructure and networks a top priority in today’s computing landscape. This paper examines the latest solution for IoT security using Intrusion detection systems (IDSs) to achieve secure end-to-end environments. This paper explores the profound impact of IDSs on IoT security such as vulnerability detection, Anomaly detection, real-time alerts, incidence response, etc. Furthermore, the paper focuses on various challenges regarding the applicability and implementation of IDS technology in real-world scenarios.
