Analysis of Cyber-Attacks in IoT-based Critical Infrastructures

Özet

Every country in the world has very important critical infrastructures that provide important services such as electronic communications, energy, banking and finance, critical public services, transportation and water management. Each country has different strategies for sector-based critical infrastructures. With the increase in IoT-based solutions, network and Internet connections are established in these critical infrastructures. Therefore, these critical systems included in information networks are also subject to digital attacks. It is of great importance to identify the possible types of cyber attacks, to take various precautions against these attacks and to develop protection methods. Especially today, it is vital to protect these critical infrastructures from cyber-attacks. This paper examines the attacks on critical infrastructures, especially in recent years, and presents the most common attacks. Furthermore, security approaches to mitigate or prevent IP-based cyber-attacks are mentioned.
