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.
