Abstract
This paper presents a comprehensive review of techniques developed to secure Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructures, motivated by the exponential growth of connected devices and their associated vulnerabilities. In addition to reviewing recent advances in the field, the paper provides experimental validation of selected methods through controlled simulations and real -world test scenarios. The analysis covers encryption protocols, authentication mechanisms, and artificial intelligence-based intrusion detection, emphasizing the effectiveness of layered defence strategies that include anomaly detection and real-time incident response. The study highlights both the technical limitations of current IoT devices and the potential of adaptive security models when properly implemented. It also highlights the importance of combining technical assurance with standardized risk management policies to increase system resilience. By integrating theoretical knowledge with practical experiments, the article contributes to the development of more robust and adaptive IoT security frameworks. |
