2. INTRODUCTION
 The Internet of Things (IoT) as a spring up
technology with noteworthy potential of
development in this decade
 Sulkamo (2018), disclosed IoT to be a part of the
Internet of the future, where billions of intelligent
“things” will communicate to cater to human services
and needs.
 As much as how IoT opens doors to variety of
opportunities, it also brings along its threats such as
cyberattacks.

5. CONCLUSION
 Gartner (2017) estimates that the number of connected IoT
devices could be 20 billion or more in year 2020.
 All in all, IoT environments should be served as any other
ICT or computer devices.
 The protection of IoT appliances is as critical as any other
computer system connected to the internet. Because by
protection, the device itself is not the only thing but is
protecting the other user on the internet as well
