Internet of Things (IoT)

The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the network of physical devices, vehicles, home appliances, and other items that are embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and connectivity, allowing them to collect and exchange data. The IoT allows these objects to be connected and controlled remotely, creating opportunities for more direct integration between the physical world and computer-based systems. The IoT has the potential to bring about significant improvements in efficiency, productivity, and convenience, but also raises new security and privacy concerns as these connected devices can be vulnerable to cyberattacks. As the IoT continues to grow, and the number of connected devices skyrocketing world wide as improvements and cost reductions in wireless communications allow businesses from manufacturers, brands, and retailers, to industrial process plants and 'smart' cities, to connect their products to the IoT it is becoming increasingly important to implement robust cybersecurity measures to protect against these threats.
