Not long ago, futurists speculated about how the Internet of Things (IoT) and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) would impact our lives. Now, we rely on these technologies for everything from home automation to critical infrastructure. However, when a complex technology rises quickly, there often isn’t time to fully consider its vulnerabilities. So, it is with the cybersecurity challenges of IoT and IIoT. As these networks proliferate, so do their risks.
A range of IoT networks is used in specific scenarios, each with unique vulnerabilities. Let’s discuss common challenges faced by several network categories and how they can be addressed through new approaches.
