Opportunity vs risk with the Internet of Things

摘要

The Internet of Things (IoT) is promising a whole new market of opportunities and there is growing awareness of its potential challenges. Until we have a clearer understanding of these risks, we must rely on programmed testing to develop knowledge and to support overall security. The Internet of Things (IoT) is no longer a new concept: it is beginning to appear in simple forms in our everyday lives – from smartphones to connected buildings and vehicles. The IoT is promising a whole new market of opportunities but there is growing awareness of its potential challenges. There must be an increasing focus on its security risks. Until we have a clearer understanding of these risks, we must rely on programmed testing to develop knowledge and to support overall security, says Sameer Dixit of Spirent.
