Internet of Things (IoT): Challenges in Privacy and Security

Conclusions

Thus, the Internet of Things has the power to change the industries and improve people's lives, however, it has demonstrated that there are many privacy and security issues regarding its implementation. To solve such challenges, there is a need to take a holistic approach whereby there are proper legislations, ethical manufacturing, aware consumers, and technological advancement. This paper has identified some of the challenges that have been faced in the implementation of IoT and how these challenges can be addressed through collaboration of all the stakeholders in order to achieve progress while at the same time protecting the rights of an individual and the society.
