Description: IoT security refers to the practice of securing connected devices and networks in the Internet of Things (IoT). This includes protecting smart devices, home automation systems, connected vehicles, and other objects that communicate over the Internet. IoT security is crucial due to the increasing interconnection of devices, which expands the attack surface for cybercriminals. IoT devices often collect and transmit sensitive data, making them attractive targets for malicious attacks. Key features of IoT security include device authentication, data encryption, identity management, and continuous network monitoring. The relevance of this security lies in the need to protect user privacy and system integrity, especially in critical applications such as healthcare, smart cities, public infrastructure, and industry. As the number of connected devices continues to grow, implementing robust security measures becomes increasingly essential to prevent security breaches and ensure a safe digital environment.
