The Internet is an open distributed network, used daily for many online services: to communicate, find information, do transactions, and be entertained. This very openness poses some vulnerabilities, allowing attacks such as ID theft, denial of service, industrial espionage, and extortion.

Internet of Things (IoT) is the most disruptive event in communications since the advent of the internet in the 1980s. With IoT, it is anticipated that billions of objects will be connected to the Internet in the next few years, thus potentially creating additional challenging security and privacy issues.

The objective of this talk is to provide an overview of IoT and its related security issues. Typical IoT applications will be presented. Also, some potential solutions, safeguards, and defenses will be offered.
