What is Internet of Things(IoTs)?

  •  IoT (IoTs) is a collection of autonomous things, a system of interconnected computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals, or people with unique identifiers and thus the ability to transmit data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction. 
  • IoTs is a new pattern that includes the existing presence of different devices. It is one of the latest technologies that provide global connectivity, management of sensors, users and information.
  • The term "Internet of Things or IoT" was coined independently by Kevin Ashton of Procter & Gamble, later of MIT's Auto-ID Center, in 1999.
  • The concept came into light in 2005 after publication of Primary Testimony on the Topic i.e., ‘IoT’  by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).

  • “The IoT” is described as “” Cisco describes IoTs as “the Internet of All” (IoE). IoTs are also known as “Embedded Internet” by Intel, and other words for IoTs include, M2M (Machine to machine) communication, Web of Things, Industry 4.0, Industrial internet (of Things) etc.
  • An IoT attack is a compromise of an Internet of Things (IoT) system. This can include devices, networks, data, and users. A cybercriminal can launch an IoT attack to steal information. They can take over an automated or IoT system, and shut it down. Clone ID and Sybil Attacks are well known routing attacks on IoTs.
