Privacy and security concerns may impede Internet of Things Chip Market growth. The implementation of IoT can lead to major privacy and security concerns, as it allows users to access information stored in the cloud from anywhere and at any time. An IoT device has three layers, namely transport, network, and physical, any of which can be attacked. An attack on the physical layer involves accessing the device and extracting sensitive information. In the network layer, the routing part can be misconfigured to expose the data.
Moreover, some of the factors leading to security and privacy issues are the lack of a secure configuration, unsecured software updates, and the lack of privacy and security regulations. The configuration applied to network layers can enable attackers to extract information. Any misconfiguration can lead to the information being shared with an outsider. Software updates can also be used by hackers to attack devices and the IoT network. In addition, the lack of IoT-related regulations makes IoT devices vulnerable. These factors are hindering the adoption of IoT devices.
