Securing IoT (Internet of Things) devices in smart homes presents several challenges. One primary issue is the lack of standardization across devices, leading to varying security protocols and vulnerabilities. Additionally, many IoT devices have limited processing power, restricting their ability to implement robust security measures. The large number of connected devices increases the attack surface, making it easier for hackers to exploit weaknesses. Furthermore, user awareness regarding security practices is often low, leaving devices exposed. Overall, these challenges necessitate ongoing efforts to enhance security in the IoT landscape for safe smart home environments.
