Detecting and Preventing DoS Attacks Within IoT Environment Using AWS IoT Core

Detecting and preventing cyber attacks within an IoT (Internet of Things) environment by AWS MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) Broker involves implementing various security measures and best practices. MQTT preferred as lightweight messaging protocol commonly utilized in IoT applications for efficient communication between IoT devices and various cloud services. AWS IoT Core provides an MQTT broker service that allows secure communication between IoT devices and cloud resources. Detecting and preventing Denial of Service (DoS) attacks within an IoT environment using AWS MQTT Broker involves a combination of security measures and services provided by AWS. In this research paper, we studied a couple of cyber attacks, tools, and also demonstrated strategies and tactics to protect the AWS IoT Core environment in which we had implemented and configured custom digital certificate and policy from DoS attacks using various python scripts.
