Threat Modelling and Risk Assessment in Internet of Things: A Review

Abstract

The Internet of things (IoT) plays an important role in our daily lives. They have been used in our homes, hospitals and industries for so long. IoT has also been used to monitor and inform the changes in the environment. Furthermore, the data exchanged within and among IoT devices are increasing aggressively, and the permeative of such systems take them to come in the tenancy of very delicate information, as a result, there are huge risks of security and privacy. Many research works have been conducted to secure the Internet of things. In this paper, we provide an introduction to the Internet of things and reassess some threat models and risk assessment methodologies of IoT.
