Question

1.what is the Internet of Things(IoT)?What are the benefits and risks?

2.What are three cyber security issues?

3.How are Internet standards developed?

Answer 1

1.Internet of Things(IOT)

Internet of things(IOT) is a system where internet power is extended beyond smartphones and computers to a wide range of other things like human being,animal,mechanical and digital devices,processes and environments. IOT basically performs 3 kinds of works.

. things that collects information and send it. (sensors)

. things that receive information and work on it.(3D printers)

. things that can do both the above work.( digital irrigation system for farming)

IOT provides better way to involve and control over environment and object .for this reason people and business are more connected to the world around them and perform higher level meaningful work.

BENEFITS OF IOT.

. decision making has improved using IOT for the business and other environments.

.efficiency,safety and comfort has increased has increased after use of IOT that tends to the higher satisfaction level employees and astonishingly improving the profit margins and more time for research and productive work .

.helps in revenue generation increases by reducing expenses at the bottom line of the organisation after getting the above benefits.

RISKS OF IOT.

.security and privacy always more in digitally connected systems and enviornments.(fake  companies,stolen identities )

.DATA and Complexity risk is also there because the IOT system generates huge amount of data so generates complexity to manage that.

. business making and IT buy in is also a risk for IOT world.

2. THREE CYBER SECURITY ISSUES

. Unprecedented Attacks

as number of devices grows in a organisation and organisation uses IOT ,the chance of unprecedented attack increases that hampers security issue of a organisation because what attack over your data and devices you got today that may not be face by the organisation professionals never before.

. Cyber Spying

recent study tells that the use of private cloud increased among organisations and hybrid cloud computing has increased .this increases the spying over the confidential and trade secrets and other valuable data of organisations. so setting up cloud securely is very important.

. Data Theft

According to study the the main target of cyber criminals is small and mid size businesses.they use the organisations as gateways to enter into the large organisations as they don't use any robust and strong security protocol to prevent data theft.if customer data of of a small industry has stolen then that also effects to the large scale industry . damage to data after theft effects largely to the growth of the organisation.

3. DEVELOPMENT OF INTERNET STANDARDS

internet standards developed by Internet Engineering Task Force(IETF) . internet standard is a methodology applied in internet development. internet standard is a high level matured technique.we get a standard after a steady process or following some meaningful steps .they are

.specification published as internet drafts

.discussed in a working groups and then creates revised IDs.

.ID sent to IESG after WG(working groups) consensus.

.IESG issues last calls (2 week to ) IETF.

-any one can comment

-IESG considers the comments and its own review

. may approve publication as standard track RFC

. or may point out issues to WG and return ID .

.same process for non WG proposals but gives 4 weeks last call .
