IoT Cybersecurity Threats: Vulnerabilities & Attack Scenarios

Workshop delivered at the SGC 2018 conference context with the University of Kurdistan APA Center (28 Nov 2018).

The Internet of Things connects sensors and actuators in physical environments over wired or radio links for control and monitoring — from transport and smart cities to public health and smart-grid metering. Like other ICT systems, IoT faces challenges in connectivity, management, signaling, bandwidth, and power. Cyber threats and privacy are among the most critical: networked nodes can be exploited, and resource limits make devices especially vulnerable to disruption.

Workshop focus

• IoT node architecture and network topology
• Protocols and enabling technologies
• Cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities
• Recent attacks and incidents
• Practical attack scenarios against vulnerable setups
