Must-read: IoT security whitepaper
A lot of IoT projects fail prematurely because of concerns over security and privacy. Often unnecessarily. IoT security is complex, but with the right precautionary measures the availability, confidentiality and integrity of IoT data and systems can be properly secured. In this whitepaper we look at the security challenges of the IoT. And we give you ten tips that will allow you to derive maximum benefit from the IoT.
Security is assured
One of the benefits to businesses of using the IoT is to get real-time insights into where equipment is located, thanks to tags on the devices. And by using temperature sensors they can see when cold stores or freezers are warming up, causing food to spoil. Or they can monitor whether medicines are being kept at the right temperature.
At the same time, there are certain risks associated with the IoT. An ever-increasing number of devices have an internet connection, so cybercriminals are also getting more opportunities to attack consumers and businesses. In theory, anything that has an internet connection can be hacked. Especially if no attention has been paid to security when the IoT devices were developed and during the implementation of IoT solutions.
We've setup a practical white paper about security for IoT projects with ten tips that will allow you to derive maximum benefit from the IoT.
