- [Instructor] Some of the challenges
that face the implementation of the Internet of Things
are security, privacy,
complexity and standards, and legal issues.
For security, due to the fact
that the scale of IoT applications, devices
and services is large, the quantity of connections
between these devices is large as well.
Therefore, the users of the systems need to trust
that the information and services are being exchanged
in a secure environment.
This is very important as IoT technologies
become more integrated into our daily lives,
and poorly secured IoT devices and applications
make them a potential target for cybersecurity threats.
Rarely a day goes by that we don't hear
about another cybersecurity attack.
Not only businesses and governments are the target,
but also regular people
through any of their personal devices.
Things like hack. data breach, or a damaging malware.
So on a personal level, here are some suggestions:
Choose a strong, unique password
that you don't share with others.
Also enable two-factor authentication,
means that you need to enter not only a password,
but also a one-time code
that's sent usually to your mobile phone.
In general, here are some of the methods used
to make IoT systems more secure:
Have a general attack detection and recovery system
that's capable of coping with IoT-specific threats.
Also, schedule regular updates and maintenance.
And third, have authentication and identification
within IoT systems.
