In recent years, the Internet of Things (IoT) technology has led to the\nemergence of multiple smart applications in different vital sectors including\nhealthcare, education, agriculture, energy management, etc. IoT aims to\ninterconnect several intelligent devices over the Internet such as sensors,\nmonitoring systems, and smart appliances to control, store, exchange, and\nanalyze collected data. The main issue in IoT environments is that they can\npresent potential vulnerabilities to be illegally accessed by malicious users,\nwhich threatens the safety and privacy of gathered data. To face this problem,\nseveral recent works have been conducted using microservices-based architecture\nto minimize the security threats and attacks related to IoT data. By employing\nmicroservices, these works offer extensible, reusable, and reconfigurable\nsecurity features. In this paper, we aim to provide a survey about\nmicroservices-based approaches for securing IoT applications. This survey will\nhelp practitioners understand ongoing challenges and explore new and promising\nresearch opportunities in the IoT security field. To the best of our knowledge,\nthis paper constitutes the first survey that investigates the use of\nmicroservices technology for securing IoT applications.\n
