Internet of Things is a network of interrelated devices, vehicles, home appliances, digital machines, animals, objects or people that transfers data without involving human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction. Because of IOT, the billions of devices around the world are now connected to the Internet by the help of cheap processor and wireless networks that enables the devices to communicate merging the physical data without the involvement of human being.
For example, we can now change the channel of any TV anywhere or shut it down by using a smartphone app is an IOT device. As said by Analyst Gartner in (Ranger, 2018), around 8.4 billion lot devices were use in the year 2017 and the numbers are expected to reach 20.4 billion by 2020.
Manufacturers today are adding sensors to their product that provides them the information regarding the product even it is stolen, damaged, and also about the current condition of the machine so that they can swap it before the occurrence of any damages. IOT has helped the customers to live a safe and comfortable life with their highly effective home security systems. We must have observed CCTV cameras in banks, government and private offices and even at homes. This security system helps to keep monitoring the activities outside and inside our homes and offices such as fridges, electric lights, doors, washing machines, etc. This has helped a lot in saving them from theft and even work as an evidence in the case of crime. The Internet of Things (IoT), as a new growth engine of the information and communications technology industry, has sparked global enthusiasm (So-Eun Lee, 2017).
Currently, IOT have develop devices that monitors the water quality, atmosphere, and the condition of the soil that helps farmers to know if the soil is able to produce or not. IOT is also being used in healthcare organizations fir outsourcing the heart monitoring devices and arrange smart beds. Similarly, highly populated country like Japan, United States and Singapore are using IOT to solve the problem of aging by helping elderly people live independently in their community.
I think, commercial devices has the potential to become powerful in the future. They are used to run the full-flexed computing system and difficult algorithms. Companies to ensure that Edge computing performs work at the edge of the network… IOT helps to connect the physical world to the cloud and ensure a smooth integration between the IOT and the Cloud. Hence, the efficient machine algorithms can dominate in the next techno wave.
The security challenges is also going to increase with the increase in IOT. In IOT, the devices are connected without the human involvement, this can give Hackers a space to bring new security concerns for the security experts.
