Connected Environments for the Internet of Things

Part of the book series: Computer Communications and Networks ((CCN))

Abstract

A complex system has a large number of design variables, and decision-making requires real-time data collected from machines, processes, and diverse business environments. In this context, enterprise information systems (EISs) are used to support data acquisition, data analytics, communication, and related decision-making activities. Therefore, information technology infrastructure for data acquisition and sharing affects the performance of an EIS greatly. Our objective in the present work is to investigate the impact of security in the Internet of Things (IoT ) paradigm for enterprise information systems. The breakthrough potential of the IoT conjures up immense possibilities for delivering value through new business models across industries, products, and service offerings. However, making IoT technologies reliable and secure is the key to realizing the potential of this breakthrough concept. Ensuring security and privacy of the IoT offerings is therefore a major concern for users and businesses. This chapter explores the potential of IoT-enabled smart services in EISs. It identifies security and privacy concerns for a variety of scenarios and discusses ways to address these concerns effectively.
