AbstractThe Internet of Things (IoT) is a computing concept that describes the idea of everyday physical objects being connected to the Internet and being able to identify themselves to other devices, and day by day it becomes popular in everyday life as well as in entrepreneurship. The IoT covers broad areas, including manufacturing, the health sector, agriculture, smart cities, security and emergencies among many others. The market for the industrial IoT is estimated to surpass 107 billion euros by 2021 and reach a compound annual growth rate of 7.3% as of 2020. The IoT makes an impact on all industries and provides benefits for various areas of business; however, business may be faced with some risks as well. The research aim is to analyse the benefits and risks of the IoT in entrepreneurship. The descriptive method, analysis and synthesis, the induction and deduction methods were used to achieve the aim. The research has revealed that the IoT can provide several opportunities for business in all fields of operations – marketing, logistics, accounting and human resource management. However, businesses may be faced with some challenges related to privacy and security, processing, analysis and management of data, as well as monitoring and sensing.

The Internet Of Things

The rapid growth of the world's population is placing a huge strain on the existing infrastructures. As a quest for accommodating this growth, interest is turned to the internet of things (IoT). In fact, the IoT is significantly improving today's quality of life by innovating the provided services and enhancing communication and interaction. Furthermore, it has also empowered real-time decision making by introducing dynamic services for innovative traffic handling, energy-efficient infrastructure saving, and public safety ensuring. However, IoT applications for smart cities is still a major issue as it lacks assuring privacy and security within provided services. In this chapter, the authors pinpoint IoT's security risk assessment challenges and examine its critical influence on smart cities. Additionally, they highlight the key aspects characterizing a smart city which also represent the critical assets requiring security risk assessment. Moreover, they discuss the resulting issues and their related countermeasures.

Subject Cybersecurity in smart cities. Significance Cybersecurity is one of the key challenges of smart city initiatives. Systems that analyse and interpret citizen behavior present unique challenges for privacy and security as they create attractive targets for malicious actors, repressive regimes and intelligence agencies. Impacts Innovation among technology vendors will be inhibited so long as they see a risk of liability when collaborating with cities. Citizens will continue to bear ultimate responsibility for what data they share and how they are used (or misused). Cybersecurity protections will become a point of differentiation among technology vendors.

Abstract. Cloud computing is an important part of the development of smart cities and also the focus of the information and communication technology (ICT) industry. From the concept of cloud computing, people and objects in cities are organized based on their application needs and computed in real time. It is a comprehensive utilization of the new generation of information and communication technology. This paper first introduces the concept of cloud computing, smart city construction in Taiwan, and the information security management standard of cloud computing, then describes the cloud computing security framework from three areas,and summarizes the implementation status of cloud computing in Taiwan, government policies, and measures, reaching the conclusion that information transmission must be fast and reliable and ensure personal privacy and security. Any type of information security problem will bring catastrophic consequences. Therefore, cloud computing also brings severe challenges to the traditional information security system.

Abstract. The project of smart cities has emerged as a response to the challenges of twenty-first- century urbanization. Solutions to the fundamental conundrum of cities revolving around efficiency, convenience and security keep being sought by leveraging technology. Notwithstanding all the conveniences furnished by a smart city to all the citizens, privacy of a citizen is intertwined with the benefits of a smart city. The development processes which overlook privacy and security issues have left many of the smart city applications vulnerable to non-conventional security threats and susceptible to numerous privacy and personal data spillage risks. Among the challenges the smart city initiatives encounter, the emergence of the smartphone-big data-the cloud coalescence is perhaps the greatest, from the viewpoint of privacy and personal data protection. As our cities are getting digitalized, information comprising citizens' behavior, choices, and mobility, as well as their personal assets are shared over smartphone-big data-the cloud coalescences, thereby expanding cyber-threat surface and creating different security concerns. This coalescence refers to the practices of creating and analyzing vast sets of data, which comprise personal information. In this paper, the protection of privacy and personal data issues in the big data environment of smart cities are viewed through bifocal lenses, focusing on social and technical aspects. The protection of personal data and privacy in smart city enterprises is treated as a socio-technological operation where various actors and factors undertake different tasks. The article concludes by calling for novel developments, conceptual and practical changes both in technological and social realms.

Internet of Things network today naturally is one of the huge quantities of devices from sensors linked through the communication framework to give value added service to the society and mankind. That allows equipment to be connected at anytime with anything rather using network and service. By 2020 there will be 50 to 100 billion devices connected to Internet and will generate heavy data that is to be analyzed for knowledge mining is a forecast. The data collected from individual devices of IoT is not going to give sufficient information to perform any type of analysis like disaster management, sentiment analysis, and smart cities and on surveillance. Privacy and Security related research increasing from last few years. IoT generated data is very huge, and the existing mechanisms like k- anonymity, l-diversity and differential privacy were not able to address these personal privacy issues because the Internet of Things Era is more vulnerable than the Internet Era [10][20]. To solve the personal privacy related problems researchers and IT professionals have to pay more attention to derive policies and to address the key issues of personal privacy preservation, so the utility and trade off will be increased to the Internet of Things applications. Personal Privacy Preserving Data Publication (PPPDP) is the area where the problems are identified and fixed in this IoT Era to ensure better personal privacy.

Corporate Profits

In her study of ‘Surveillance Capitalism’, Shoshana Zuboff cites Google’s parent firm Alphabet’s legal customer-purchase agreement for the parent firm’s Nest thermostats. These impose ‘oppressive privacy and security consequences’ requiring sensitive information to be shared through ‘Internet-of-Things’ (IoT) networks with other domestic and external devices, unnamed functionaries and various third parties. This is for data harvesting, analytics, processing, manipulation and transformation through digital re-sale to the same and other consumers in the form of unwanted, targeted advertising. The point of this identity ‘rendition’ is to massively augment corporate profits. It is but a short step from trapping the unwitting consumer in a ‘smart home’ to planning a similarly mediated ‘smart city’ aimed at further massively augmenting corporate profits. This is happening, as founders of digital media from Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon and Tesla either commission or become beneficiaries of ‘smart city’ planning. However, there is evidence that such imperiousness is increasingly countered by emerging democratic critique of these new ‘model villages’ or ‘company towns’.
