The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Securing Internet of Things (IoT) Devices: Challenges and Solutions

EasyChair Preprint 14527

Abstract

The proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has revolutionized various sectors by enhancing connectivity and enabling smarter operations. However, this rapid expansion has also introduced significant security challenges, as IoT devices often serve as entry points for cyberattacks due to their diverse nature and varying levels of built-in security. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a pivotal technology in addressing these security concerns, offering advanced solutions for securing IoT ecosystems.

This paper explores the role of AI in enhancing the security of IoT devices, focusing on the challenges and solutions associated with its implementation. AI techniques, such as machine learning, anomaly detection, and predictive analytics, are increasingly employed to monitor, detect, and respond to potential threats in real-time. These technologies help in identifying unusual patterns of behavior, predicting potential vulnerabilities, and automating responses to mitigate risks.

The paper examines the key challenges faced in integrating AI with IoT security, including issues related to data privacy, the complexity of AI algorithms, and the need for scalable solutions. It also highlights successful case studies where AI has been effectively used to enhance IoT security, demonstrating the potential for AI-driven approaches to address the evolving threat landscape.

By analyzing both the opportunities and limitations of AI in securing IoT devices, this paper provides insights into how AI can be leveraged to create more resilient and adaptive security frameworks. The findings underscore the importance of ongoing research and development in AI technologies to keep pace with the growing and dynamic nature of IoT threats.
