An Artificial Intelligence Perspective on Ensuring Cyber‐Assurance for the Internet of Things

The technology challenge facing the Internet of Things (IoT) requires a multi‐disciplined approach to artificial intelligence (AI) systems engineering and it is critical that the IoT effort address cyber‐assurance (e.g., embedded, automatic security processing) for rapid responses to significant IoT activities. This chapter briefly provides the possibility of the usage of AI for cyber‐assurance for the IoT. The IoT offers an interactive connection between the physical world and computer systems in order to obtain improved efficiency, accuracy, and economic advantages. An AI approach does not demand the discarding of current IoT systems to start anew. On the contrary, it enables the utilization of existing technology assets by integrating select functionality into the IoT. Although it is highly debated that the technology influence in our daily lives may make us ever more dependent on technology, the growth of AI within the IoT will also continue.
