Abstract
Over the years and in a post-industrial economy, information has evolved from being a simple financial and operational gauge in companies to becoming the key to a more intertwined world. By exchanging an immense amount of information, the Internet of Things has resulted in a revolutionary change in lifestyles, with widespread usage across an array of industries and applications, spanning agriculture, smart houses, health care, and beyond. However, this exponential growth has also brought about unprecedented management and security challenges. One such challenge pertains to scalability, whereas another involves the confidentiality and security of gathered data. Motivated by the lack of inclusive studies of cyber risks in the IoT world, we present in this article a comparative examination of the threats related to IoT systems. The study aims to identify the most perilous cyber threats, based on eight relevant parameters in the world of computer security. Ultimately, this study will help practitioners comprehend current issues and examine fresh and attractive research opportunities in the landscape of IoT security.
