3. Detecting and Defending against Cyber Attacks in a Smart Home Internet of Things
The Internet of Things (IoT) is defined as the system of interconnected electronic devices
embedded with software, sensors, actuators, and network connectivity which enables them to
connect and exchange data. IoT is considered as being the next technological revolution which is
shifting how we as individuals, economic entities, and governmental organizations interact with
the physical world, such technologies come with enormous security flaws. However, IoT devices
are subject to a range of security flaws, including heart bleed, Man-In-The-Middle (MITM),
Denial of Service (DoS), data leakage, weak passwords, and more. The purpose of this project is
to investigate typical risks (weaknesses) in common Smart City IoT devices; investigate devices
appear to feature the most easily exploitable vulnerabilities, with the potentially gravest
consequences; and come up with solutions could be possible to mitigate the identified risks..
4. A Decision-Making Methods for Selection of Security Controls
There are many challenges regarding decision making process in the context of Information
Security that include (1) risk assessment, (2) security controls analysis, and (3) selection of
security controls to mitigate risks in a cost-effective manner. For that reason, the goal of this
project is to research a decision-making method that supports the selection of IT security
controls, in the way that it would be easier for security consultants and organizations to make
sufficient security investment and strengthen their security baseline.
