Internet of Things and Distributed Denial of Service as Risk Factors in Information Security

Abstract

Society is increasingly dependent on technology and an example of this is the constant monitoring of large cities, which has become common and the future trend is for it to increase based on what happened with the COVID-19 pandemic. This monitoring brings with it a series of problems at the information security level at different levels or levels. Based on this fact, it addresses how the Internet of Things (IoT) can be subject to potential distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks and the danger it poses to society. In this sense, other types of vulnerabilities are exposed, such as crypto hacking, advanced persistent threats (APT) and ransomware, which use artificial intelligence to improve their attack techniques. This poses a potential risk to society from cybersecurity regarding the use and manipulation of information, either by governments, the military and organized criminal groups, de facto violating human rights.

Synthesizing Ai's Impact on Cybersecurity in Telecommunications: A Conceptual Framework

“…Through a synthesis of relevant literature, this review aims to provide insights into the current state of knowledge, identify key research gaps, and inform the development of a conceptual framework for effectively harnessing AI's impact on cybersecurity in telecommunications. The telecommunications sector faces a diverse array of cyber threats, ranging from traditional attacks such as Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) to sophisticated threats like Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs (Díaz, 2020)). Research by Al-Qurishi et al (2021) highlights the evolving nature of cyber threats in telecommunications, emphasizing the need for adaptive cybersecurity measures capable of addressing dynamic attack vectors.…”
