Abstract

Issues of network threat directly affects the network security in any organization. One of
the most prominent network threats is the intrusion of information. Government
Information and Communications Technology Security Policy should be given a serious
emphasis by every government organization. Internet of Things (IoT) is the latest
technology that allows devices to establish connection with other devices through the
Internet. The practicality of IoT devices causes many public and private institutions to
adopt IoT technology to assist teaching and learning. In addition, one of the key feature
of IoT device is to provide users with fast response through warning or notification. The
purpose of this project is to design and develop a framework based on the IoT network
to mitigate the threat and to design a threat management model for the computer
laboratory at METrO Polytechnic Tasek Gelugor. Research tools used are literature
study, questionnaire on threats and information security levels involve students and
polytechnic staff and expert interviews. The interview is to validate the developed
framework and model are involving ICT experts in the polytechnic. The preliminary
survey on the network threats found that students are exposed to some of the issue of
the network threat and demonstrated lack of awareness when it comes to network
security. The network framework and threat management model of the IoT are
developed to monitor the threats in the network. Efficient and robust monitoring systems
such as the IoT network threat management model are expected to enhance the
network security system capability in METrO Polytechnic Tasek Gelugor.
