To answer the problem of research, researcher use qualitative research design. Researchers use primary sources in the form of official state documents and secondary sources in the form of interviews with experts, through journals, dissertations and related research. The results of the study found that the massive development of IoT creates information vulnerability that threatens national security as well as global security.
