Internet of Things (IoT)
IoT is a concept wherein devices have the ability to communicate and transfer data with each other without any human interference. IoT is an emerging concept and is being gradually adopted by organizations.
Although a specific risk of IoT depends on how it is used, an IS auditor should consider the following risks with respect to IoT:
- The impact of IoT on the health and safety of human life
- Regulatory compliance with respect to the use of IoT
- The impact of IoT on user privacy
- The impact of IoT on device vulnerabilities
