Digitally connected devices are innovated for every aspect of our lives, including our homes, offices, cars, and our bodies too; with researchers claiming that, by 2020, the number of active wireless connected devices will exceed 40 billion.
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...
