Artificial Intelligence in IoT Security: Review of Advancements, Challenges, and Future Directions

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionized various industries, but its rapid expansion has also exposed a vast attack surface, making it vulnerable to cyber threats. Traditional cybersecurity measures often struggle to keep pace with the dynamic and diverse nature of IoT devices. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a powerful tool in cybersecurity, offering the potential to revolutionize threat detection, anomaly detection, intrusion prevention, and secure authentication in IoT environments. This review paper explores the latest advancements in AI techniques for IoT security, discusses the challenges and limitations of existing approaches, and highlights future research directions. By examining the intersection of AI and IoT security, this review aims to contribute to developing more effective and resilient cybersecurity solutions for the ever-expanding IoT landscape.
