The Security Implications of IoT Devices: Risks, Challenges, and Solutions

Author(s) Ajinkya Goyal

Abstract The Internet of Things (IoT) is reshaping everyday life by connecting a wide range of devices across sectors such as healthcare, manufacturing, smart homes, and transportation. This growing network of interconnected devices offers significant benefits, including increased efficiency, automation, and access to real-time data. However, the rapid adoption of IoT technologies also brings a number of critical security concerns. Many IoT devices are built with limited processing capabilities and minimal built-in security features, making them vulnerable to cyber threats. This paper examines the primary security challenges associated with IoT, including weak authentication systems, inadequate encryption, improper device configuration, and the absence of consistent regulatory standards. Through real-world examples, the paper illustrates how insufficient security can lead to serious disruptions and compromise public safety. The research further explores the technical and organisational obstacles to securing IoT systems and reviews emerging solutions such as lightweight cryptography, AI-powered anomaly detection, blockchain technologies, and quantum-resistant encryption. The findings emphasise that a secure IoT environment requires a coordinated effort among manufacturers, users, and policymakers. Without adequate safeguards, the risks posed by insecure IoT devices could undermine user trust and limit the full potential of this transformative technology.
