Exploring Deception Techniques in Safeguarding IoT Networks from Intruders

The expansion of Internet of Things devices and its network is not only transforming across industries but also has been playing an important role in our day-to-day life. Though, this increase in the number of connected IOT devices brings the concern of different cyber threats and vulnerabilities. Gradually, attacks are getting matured day by day which compromises the security and intruders are getting easy access into the IOT environment due to traditional security mechanism. Deception technology has been an effective technique has improved security in IOT devices. Deception technology implements the deployment of honeypots, deceptive elements, breadcrumbs in required IOT environment as defence mechanism. In this study, we discuss different deceptive methods along with synthetic data generation that can be applied in multiple IOT environments to enhance the security by not only identifying anomalous behaviour but also prevent intruder to perform malicious activities.
