ABSTRACT

These days, technology is reaching a critical point in its evolution. The increase of technologies – as cloud computing, data analysis, and mobile communications – has encouraged other technologies as, for example, the Internet of Things to reach their full potential. Resulting, the Digital Business Environment has been rapidly changing, leading to an exponential growth of the number cyber crimes. The present study aims to identify the challenges the Digital Business Environment has to face and to propose viable solutions that would allow avoiding cyberattacks that result in a reinforcement of cybersecurity in the Internet of Things. So that, with the aim to deepen the impact that cybersecurity has on the Internet of Things for individuals, society, nations, and global humanity, the authors undertake a review of the literature and perform an exploratory analysis of the results on this ubiquitous topic.
