Challenges Faced and Middleware Solutions for The IoT

In the coming years, you will see that IoT aka Internet of Things will take over many of the technologies in the future and also transform every industry. Smart cities, automated vehicles, and healthcare are some of the intelligent applications. These applications include smart technological objects which are equipped by Radio Frequency sensors. The IoT relies on Wifi, LTE and other cloud computing services. 
 
Thus an advanced version of IoT can be seen as a technological shift from the traditional radio sensor networks to wireless intelligent automation. The IoT supports features like scalability, mobility and advanced security for the users. There are two approaches by which IoT can be achieved i.e. design the IoT system as an ecosystem of services and an ecosystem of agents. 



The agent approach gives the ability to provide content awareness and intelligent elements. To gain the maximum benefit out of the IoT, many government agencies have already started to work on it to produce growth and increase productivity. As more companies have started to adopt IoT, the challenges in deploying and building the project is getting tougher. When the IoT applications are implemented then users face several challenges like data privacy and failing to accept it as a global standard. The enterprises also need to explore more ways to store, analyze large volumes of data to cover the challenges associated with the integration of IoT with the existing technology such as 5G.

Challenges faced in the Integration of IoT Applications

1) Current Devices lack fundamental Security Safeguards
As IoT application is still in the developing stage so it also lacks security features which make the IoT solutions vulnerable to security attacks. But there has been no report of a major security breach in IoT applications. Though enterprises must build custom IoT solutions to implement it with the latest security features to prevent any kind of security breaches.

2) Cybercriminals have an eye on IoT
Some cybercriminals have already started building malicious malware which targets the users as well as enterprise. A security firm Symantec has reported that a new malicious worm was detected on the Linux systems which are a part of the Internet of Things
.
The increasing popularity of IoT will attract more cybercriminals to engineer malware which target IoT devices. So the developers and the firms must explore new ways and eliminate the loopholes to prevent such attacks. 

3) Enterprises must develop ways to keep IoT systems secure
The tools and embedded software used in the application of IoT must be made secure and ensure that data stored in various devices and data centres are not vulnerable to security attacks. So enterprises must deploy an authentic and authorized system in IoT application with the latest protocols, firewalls to keep their network secure.
