It's up to the manufacturer and the system implementer of these IoT devices and IoT solutions to use more effective methods of IoT security in the following four areas:
- IoT devices: Devices which can capture and send telemetry data to the cloud.
- Field gateway: Devices that can aggregate data to and from the end devices which are unable to connect directly, this could be due to limitations such as protocol communication and so on.
- Cloud gateways: Any cloud endpoint that is able to receive data or send commands to field gateways or IoT devices out in...
