IoT as a theme has reached maturity. IoT-related merger and acquisition (M&A) and patent activity within the banking and payments sector continues to decline since peaking in 2021. Heightened scrutiny around data privacy remains a major obstacle to broader IoT adoption across the sector. IoT devices present new vulnerabilities. They frequently collect and transmit data without adequate security measures, creating a weak point for cybercriminals seeking access to the data reserves of banking companies. The fragmented security standards landscape and weak security of many IoT devices could hold back further IoT adoption.
