Abstract:

As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to proliferate across various industries and domains, ensuring the security of IoT devices and ecosystems has become paramount. However, the inherently interconnected and heterogeneous nature of IoT environments poses significant challenges to cybersecurity, creating an unprotected ecosystem vulnerable to cyber threats and attacks. In this context, the role of guardians of the IoT, including cybersecurity professionals, industry stakeholders, regulatory authorities, and technology vendors, becomes crucial in safeguarding IoT deployments against security risks and vulnerabilities. This chapter explores the multifaceted challenges of securing IoT ecosystems and discusses the importance of collaborative efforts, knowledge sharing, and innovative approaches in addressing emerging threats and mitigating security risks. By empowering the guardians of the IoT through collective action and strategic initiatives, organizations can enhance the resilience and security posture of IoT deployments, thereby ensuring the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of IoT data and services.
