A study of security issues of internet of things (IoT) systems

Internet of Things (IoT) systems have a negative reputation as devices with a high amount of security vulnerabilities. Despite rapid growth in popularity and adoption in a broad range of industries, this aspect of the IoT restricts continuous adoption of the IoT solutions. The goal of this works is the research of the main security problems of IoT systems that would result in the development of an application for detection and identification in IoT systems. In order to form a list of requirements several vulnerability-scanning tools were analyzed from which general advantages and disadvantages were identified. General system architecture and GUI of the developed app were also designed. The result of this work is an application for vulnerability scanning of IoT systems that provides the ability to receive reports on detected vulnerabilities, their risk level, description and a possible fix. This open-source solution provides an alternative for the existing tools that are usually used in combinations with each other in order to minimize the risk of a vulnerability detection error.
