Security and Privacy Concerns in IoT

In the last generation, the Internet has profoundly changed our lives and because our society has grown more reliant on information technology, we are now saving and transferring sensitive information online, we are paying greater attention to data protection and security issues. Governing authorities in many countries have enacted laws and regulations intended to address and influence privacy and security practises. This research analyses how businesses across the globe comply with the laws of various countries with their privacy notifications and whether organisations vary in their degree of compliance with their privacy regulations and their reading ability. The objective of this research is also to explore moral and ethical views. Laws and regulations are meant to maintain an order, justice and fairness in the society, while ethical laws are as such to establish standards of ethics and behaviour that enable individuals determine what’s unjust and how to react to injustice. Legislations lay down basic norms for decent behaviour, the law and ethics should be followed ‘anytime’ and ‘everywhere’ on the internet in order to offer a safe and inclusive environment for everyone, including the marginalised ones. This calls for a new perspective on social and political environment, which calls for new increased legal and ethical privacy protection measures, data security, preservation of ownership, improved confidence, and the creation of appropriate standards of behaviour on the internet and social media space.
