Evolution of IoT in Cloud Computing: Risk Analysis and Potential Solutions

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) has become a part of every field of life and is growing rapidly with time. However, IoT faces many challenges such as storage capability, processing, accessibility, security, energy consumption etc. Cloud computing is a technology used to store and compute data more efficiently over the internet so that it can be accessible to its users anywhere at any time. The evolution of IoT in cloud computing opens a new arena of innovation research and rapid development of upcoming tools and technologies. Using Cloud computing in integration with IoT brings many advantages to IoT and the cloud. IoT and cloud both shield gaps of each other, however still, some issues need to be addressed for network efficiency such as security risk identification and management. This paper presents the difference between the cloud computing and internet of things by using some common variables and analyze the particular key challenges. Afterword we propose significant solutions to the problems occurring with the integration of IoT in Cloud Computing. This research analysis helps the researcher to understand the security threats to build efficient network policies.
