Abstract

The increasing interconnectedness and intelligence of everything are fostering digital transformation across industries. Nonetheless, the advent of the Internet of Everything (IoE) also introduces new cybersecurity risks, given the diverse mechanisms employed by IoE applications due to the heterogeneous nature of IoE environments. This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of cybersecurity issues related to IoE components and technologies, layered architectures, threats and attacks, and vulnerabilities. The main contribution of this chapter is a 3D cybersecurity model based on the presented IoE components, enabler technologies, and multi-layered architecture. In addition, IoE cybersecurity threats and attacks, challenges, and solutions are highlighted through a multi-layered architecture to provide a better understanding and knowledge of addressing and implementing appropriate approaches to prevent recent cybersecurity threats and attacks in IoE at each layer based on different components.
