What is IoT Security in cloud data security, and what are the requirements?

A network of interconnected devices with software, sensors, and network connectivity for data gathering and exchange makes up the Internet of Things (IoT). The prerequisites for IoT security are as follows:

Each device must have a distinct ID and robust authentication methods to prevent unwanted access.

Secure communication channels are required for devices. To ensure data security and integrity, ensure information is encrypted in transit and at rest.

To defend against malware, update the devices regularly, install firewalls, and use intrusion detection systems.

There must be real-time monitoring systems to detect threats and vulnerabilities.

Devices must have privacy controls to ensure that the data collected and maintained fulfill compliance requirements.
