In order to successfully complete this assignment, you will need to select a viable IoT component, thoroughly explore the security risks associated with this device, describe how attackers can exploit vulnerabilities of the component, and develop a mitigation plan. The following are the deliverables for this assignment:
1. Choose an IoT Device: Provide a brief overview of IoT devices and the security threats that are associated with them. Select a specific IoT device for your analysis.
2. Investigate Risks Associated with the Device: Thoroughly analyze the security risks associated with this device.
3. Describe Attack Methods: Describe various attack methods that hackers may use to gain access to the device: including actions they might take, and the consequences of them hacking this device. Be sure to connect the risks you defined earlier: how could these vulnerabilities be exploited?
4. Develop a Mitigation Plan: Based upon the risks and attack methods you analyzed earlier, create a mitigation plan to protect against these threats.
5. Putting it All Together: Your paper should be between 1500 and 2500 words.
You may refer to the course material for supporting evidence, but you must also use 3-5 external sources. Please include a mix of both primary and secondary sources, with at least one source from a scholarly peer-reviewed journal. All sources should be cited using APA format.
Formatting
