IoT Cybersecurity: Trends, Challenges, and Solutions (Advances in Computational Collective Intelligence)

Internet of Things (IoT) systems create a massive attack surface with billions of connected devices that often have weak default credentials and limited security capabilities, making them easy targets for cybercriminals to exploit at scale.Compromised IoT devices can serve as entry points for attackers to access valuable network resources, steal sensitive personal and business data, or launch large-scale botnet attacks that disrupt critical infrastructure.Without proper security measures, IoT vulnerabilities can lead to serious consequences, including operational disruptions, safety hazards in critical systems like healthcare and transportation, and significant financial and legal penalties from regulatory noncompliance.IoT Cybersecurity: Trends, Challenges, and Solutions addresses the significant knowledge gap between rapidly deployed connected devices and understanding their unique security challenges.Highlights include:An efficient lightweight cryptography technique for enhancing Io
