The Internet of Things (IoT) and its rapid advancements will lead to everything being connected in the near future. The number of devices connected to the global network is increasing every day. IoT security challenges arise as a result of the large-scale incorporation of smart devices. Security issues on the Internet of Things have been the most focused area of research over the last decade. As IoT devices have less memory, processing capacity, and power consumption, the traditional security mechanisms are not suitable for IoT. A security mechanism called an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) has a crucial role in protecting the IoT nodes and networks. The lightweight nature of IoT nodes should be considered while designing IDS for the IoT. In this paper, the types of IDS, the major attacks on IoT, the recent research, and contributions to IDS in IoT networks are discussed, and an analytical survey is given based on the study. Though it is a promising area for research, IDS still needs further refinement to ensure high security for IoT networks and devices. Hence, further research, development, and lightweight mechanisms are required for IDS to provide a higher level of security to the resource-limited IoT network.

Abstract


The Internet of Things (IoT) and its rapid advancements will lead to everything being connected in the near future. The number of devices connected to the global network is increasing every day. IoT security challenges arise as a result of the large-scale incorporation of smart devices. Security issues on the Internet of Things have been the most focused area of research over the last decade. As IoT devices have less memory, processing capacity, and power consumption, the traditional security mechanisms are not suitable for IoT. A security mechanism called an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) has a crucial role in protecting the IoT nodes and networks. The lightweight nature of IoT nodes should be considered while designing IDS for the IoT. In this paper, the types of IDS, the major attacks on IoT, the recent research, and contributions to IDS in IoT networks are discussed, and an analytical survey is given based on the study. Though it is a promising area for research, IDS still needs further refinement to ensure high security for IoT networks and devices. Hence, further research, development, and lightweight mechanisms are required for IDS to provide a higher level of security to the resource-limited IoT network.
