Description: The vulnerabilities of the Internet of Things (IoT) refer to security weaknesses that can be exploited in interconnected devices and networks. These devices, ranging from smart appliances to industrial monitoring systems, often lack adequate security measures, making them attractive targets for cybercriminals. Vulnerabilities can arise from various sources, such as misconfigurations, outdated software, lack of encryption, and weak authentication. The proliferation of IoT devices has led to an increase in the attack surface, meaning there are more entry points for attackers. Exploiting these vulnerabilities can result in data loss, service disruptions, and damage to organizations’ reputations. Therefore, vulnerability analysis in IoT has become crucial to identify and mitigate risks, ensuring that devices and networks are secure and reliable. This analysis involves the systematic evaluation of IoT devices to detect weaknesses and the implementation of corrective measures to protect connected infrastructures. In an increasingly digitized world, where interconnectivity is the norm, addressing IoT vulnerabilities is essential to ensure user security and privacy.
