Internet of Things (IoT) Security

Internet of Things (IoT) security is the technology area dedicated to protecting IoT devices and the networks to which they’re connected. These safeguards primarily focus on user privacy and data security. As the number and variety of connected devices continues to grow, so do the security risks associated with them.

IoT security requires a multilayered strategy, from the physical devices to the network, and all the way to the data and user interface. This approach includes robust encryption, regular software updates, network segmentation, and ongoing monitoring.
