Abstract
  • The world now has been covered by an invisible network of devices, known as The Internet of Things (IoT). The IoT has played a huge role since it was introduced. This trend is seen to proliferate when it is introduced in all fields and massively shift when the Covid-19 pandemic starts. While the development saw increased productivity in some areas of the industry, some failed to strive due to sudden changes in social norms. Given the current situation, device developers have seized the chance and taken the initiative to develop IoT devices further, recognizing their enormous potential. Nevertheless, as technology advances, security and privacy loopholes will be created, which can be taken advantage of to reap profits. Past and current research has found proper solutions to several issues plaguing end users. Still, researchers are developing a new security and protocols update due to progressive technology development over recent years. Industries are one of the areas that will be severely affected if this issue is ignored; not only can it affect individuals, but it can even affect the country, especially in the post-COVID-19 era. This paper will look at the industry angle of security and privacy used in daily activities. With all the research done to date, some information can be gathered and analyzed to measure somehow the security level of IoT security and privacy. Hopefully, these findings will give some insight into industries on IoT security and privacy level, allowing the industries to achieve a more secure footing as they recover from the shortcoming of the Covid-19 pandemic.
