This paper presents a preliminary study of the relationship between IoT and cyber security in the context of predictive data analytics. The study examines the key security challenges associated with IoT devices and the measures that can be taken to mitigate these risks. The paper also explores the role of predictive data analytics in managing and analyzing data collected by IoT devices and the potential benefits and challenges of this approach. The paper further explores the potential benefits of using predictive data analytics in managing and analyzing data collected by IoT devices. These benefits include the ability to identify patterns and trends in data, optimize resource allocation, and improve decision-making. However, the study also identifies challenges associated with the use of predictive data analytics, such as the need for high-quality data, the complexity of analytics algorithms, and the potential for bias and discrimination. Overall, the paper highlights the importance of addressing cyber security challenges associated with IoT devices in the context of predictive data analytics. The study emphasizes the need for comprehensive security measures to be implemented to protect IoT devices and the data they collect. The paper also highlights the potential benefits of using predictive data analytics in managing and analyzing IoT data but cautions that careful consideration of the associated risks and challenges is necessary. Finally, the study identifies areas for future research, such as the development of more effective security measures and the exploration of new data analytics algorithms and techniques.
