Tackling DDOS Attacks in IoT: Asynthesis of Literature 2018 to 2022

Currently, the Internet of Things is expanding into all computing-reliant domains. Fog computing is a key ally of the Internet of Things. It brings cloud computing and services to the network's edge. IoT makes smart surroundings a reality and a possibility. However, they are not immune to security weaknesses and threats. Therefore, specialized security measures are necessary. Security is one of the greatest obstacles to achieving an ideal IoT and Fog environment. This reality, coupled with the enormous harm caused by application attacks, necessitates the concentration of efforts in this area. Existing studies of the state of the art have demonstrated this requirement by highlighting a number of unresolved issues requiring additional investigation. This article presents a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) that takes into account the context of intrusion detection and prevention in IoT-based environments. This review examines more than 73 papers that passed a rigorous inclusion/exclusion procedure with well stated criteria. Information was gathered from these studies to construct a picture of the present state of the art and answer the study's research goals. Thus, we identify the state of the art, outstanding questions, and future potential. © 2024, Ismail Saritas. All rights reserved.
