Study of Cyber Security Effects on Wireless Sensors Networks

Abstract

In recent two years, information systems have been adopted in most fields of life due to the health state around the world. At the same time, the risk factor of security attacks is increased sharply as well. These attacks consider different actions toward damaging the data of systems or even making down their work. In this paper, a study of cyber-threats (attacks) on Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is presented. This study illustrates the effects of the cyber-threats on the WSN according to the network layers, as well as their privacy concerns. The outcome of this study is the classification of these attacks that can lead to produce cyber-security systems which can prevent them from damaging the involved information systems.
