Choose an IoT Device: Provide a brief overview of IoT devices and the security threats that are associated with them

In order to successfully complete this assignment, you will need to select a viable IoT component, thoroughly explore the security risks associated with this device, describe how attackers can exploit vulnerabilities of the component, and develop a mitigation plan. The following are the deliverables for this assignment:

1. 
   

   Choose an IoT Device: Provide a brief overview of IoT devices and the security threats that are associated with them. Select a specific IoT device for your analysis.

   
   


2. 
   

   Investigate Risks Associated with the Device: Thoroughly analyze the security risks associated with this device.

   
   


3. 
   

   Describe Attack Methods: Describe various attack methods that hackers may use to gain access to the device: including actions they might take, and the consequences of them hacking this device. Be sure to connect the risks you defined earlier: how could these vulnerabilities be exploited?
