An IoT device that is susceptible to a man-in-the-middle attack is lacking in:
- Encryption
- Identity Verification
- Secure Communication Protocols
- Strong Authentication
When an IoT device lacks secure communication protocols, it becomes vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks, where an attacker intercepts and potentially alters the communication between two parties. Strong authentication, encryption, and identity verification are important, but without secure communication, these measures can be compromised.
