This article assesses the pros and cons of machine learning in relation to security protection systems for the Internet of Things. When analyzing massive datasets retrieved from IoT devices, machine learning algorithms offer both beneficial and bad outcomes. Network traffic analysis allows organizational security specialists to uncover hidden patterns within abnormalities, allowing them to predict future threats. Machine learning models like this let us proactively strengthen protections for IoT networks and lessen the impact of potential attacks. Because they use the same methodologies, cybercriminals may be able to use tedious machine learning processes to launch more sophisticated cyberattacks. Cybercriminals may be able to render current security mechanisms ineffective by defining training settings for their algorithms to exploit vulnerabilities in IoT devices and their networks. The next big thing in Internet of Things (IoT) cybersecurity is identifying potential hazards associated with misemployment and maximizing the usage of machine learning techniques.
