Internet of Things
Introduction
What is Internet of Things ?
Internet :
Service based network that is meant to connect
people in order to enable them to sharing
information.
Things :
Any objects beside people.
What is Internet of Things ?
Internet of Things
Service based network of objects —
devices, vehicles, buildings and other
items embedded with electronics,
software, sensors, and network
connectivity — that enables these objects
to collect and exchange data.
Make things — that weren’t meant to talk
to each other — to interact smartly.
Working together to solve a business
problem.

Why IoT ?
Generate, collect, process and use
acquired data to make better
decisions.
Gartner says the Internet of Things
installed base will grow to 26 Billion
units by 2020
DIKW Model
Characteristic of IoT
Very Large Scale
Heterogeneity
Pervasivity
Computing and communication technologies will be
embedded in our environments
IoT Perspective
Any TIME
• On the Move
• Outdoors and Indoors
• Nights and Daytime
Any PLACE
• Fixed and Mobile
• Outdoors and Indoors
• Static and Moving
Any THING
• Human to Human (H2H)
• Human to Thing (H2T)
• Thing to Thing (T2T)

IoT Concerns
It’s just another computer, right?
All of the same issues we have with access
control, vulnerability management, patching,
monitoring, etc.
Imagine your network with 1,000,000 more
devices
Any compromised device is a foothold on
the network
IoT Weakness
Default, weak, and hardcoded credentials
Difficult to update firmware and OS
Lack of vendor support for repairing vulnerabilities
Vulnerable web interfaces (SQL injection, XSS)
Coding errors (buffer overflow)
Clear text protocols and unnecessary open ports
DoS / DDoS
Physical theft and tampering
