1 answer

All the options you provided can be considered potential IoT security issues. Here's a breakdown:

  1. Inexpensive and standard wireless communication - This can lead to vulnerabilities as cheaper devices may not implement strong security measures. Standard communication protocols may have known weaknesses that can be exploited.

  2. Growth of IoT at a pace faster than we assess risk for cyber-attack - Rapid growth can lead to inadequate security measures being put in place, making IoT devices and networks more susceptible to attacks.

  3. Device communication with one another - Inter-device communication can create vulnerabilities if proper security protocols are not established, potentially allowing malicious entities to intercept or manipulate data.

  4. Cloud services and applications not properly maintained and upgraded - Neglecting to update and maintain cloud services can lead to exposure to security vulnerabilities, as software may have unpatched flaws that could be exploited by attackers.

Therefore, the correct answer is to select all of the options listed, as they all represent potential security issues in the IoT landscape.
