The Future of IoT Security

Technology Strategies for Securing Connectivity, Devices, Data, Applications and Networks from Cyberthreats

IoT security refers to cybersecurity measures taken to protect connected devices and networks. With the increasing volume of data being transmitted from external sources and the larger attack surface in the IoT era, the need for robust security solutions has become crucial for reliable IoT operations.

Malfunctioning or compromised IoT devices, whether malicious or accidental, can pose significant risks to consumers, businesses, and societies. Limited compute and storage capabilities, high volumes of data, and industry fragmentation present unique challenges in securing the IoT.

The demand for IoT security is driven by the increasing internet penetration and rapid technological advancements that have enabled high-speed internet connectivity.
