The internet of things (IoT) has significantly changed how we work, live, and interact with our surroundings. The growth of connected devices has made cybersecurity a top priority for people, businesses, and governments. This article presents an overview of cybersecurity in the Internet of Things (IoT) era while examining the risks, difficulties, and defence mechanisms for IoT networks and devices. In the study, possible dangers and threats to IoT security are discussed, including IoT device vulnerabilities, IoT device lack of standardisation, and the problem of security patching and upgrades. Additionally, the article assesses the current level of IoT security, considering current security standards and protocols, and it covers the difficulties in putting in place practical security measures. The relevance of encryption and access control, the function of blockchain technology, and best practises for securing IoT devices and networks are explored as IoT security strategies. The article offers suggestions for future paths in IoT security research and development and finishes with case studies and examples of effective IoT security implementations.
