Overview of this book

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the fastest growing technology market. Industries are embracing IoT technologies to improve operational expenses, product life, and people's well-being. An architectural guide is necessary if you want to traverse the spectrum of technologies needed to build a successful IoT system, whether that's a single device or millions of devices. This book encompasses the entire spectrum of IoT solutions, from sensors to the cloud. We start by examining modern sensor systems and focus on their power and functionality. After that, we dive deep into communication theory, paying close attention to near-range PAN, including the new Bluetooth® 5.0 specification and mesh networks. Then, we explore IP-based communication in LAN and WAN, including 802.11ah, 5G LTE cellular, Sigfox, and LoRaWAN. Next, we cover edge routing and gateways and their role in fog computing, as well as the messaging protocols of MQTT and CoAP. With the data now in internet form, you'll get an understanding of cloud and fog architectures, including the OpenFog standards. We wrap up the analytics portion of the book with the application of statistical analysis, complex event processing, and deep learning models. Finally, we conclude by providing a holistic view of the IoT security stack and the anatomical details of IoT exploits while countering them with software defined perimeters and blockchains.

The IoT Story

Summary


This chapter detailed the risks of security in the IoT. With well-known attacks such as Mirai and Stuxnet, which target IoT devices as their intended hosts, architects should design security into an IoT deployment from the start. The IoT makes for the best play space to launch an attack. The systems are usually less security mature than server and PC systems. IoT devices provide the largest attack surface on the planet. Finally, the remoteness of some IoT systems allows for attackers to be physically present and manipulate hardware, which wouldn't happen in a secure office setting. These threats need to be taken seriously, as the ramifications could have a pronounced impact on a device, a city, or a nation.
