Scrutinizing the Security and Privacy Issues of Iot: Analyzing the Critical Factors on Smart Home, Industrial Iot and Healthcare Domains

The integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) into modern life has become omnipresent in the personal and business domains. IoT devices, which collect and communicate data for various services, raise privacy concerns as they infect all aspects of contemporary life. This survey examines the privacy and security challenges posed by IoT devices, particularly in smart homes, industrial settings, and healthcare settings. Rapid development of IoT hardware and software often prioritizes functionality over security, leading to vulnerabilities that can compromise personal and organizational privacy. In severe cases, security breaches in IoT devices can result in physical harm. This study explores the unique security needs of Smart Homes, Industrial IoT (IIoT), and Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), proposing that solutions developed for one domain may be applicable to others due to the heterogeneous nature of IoT.
