IoT Security – Addressing Vulnerabilities in Connected Devices

With billions of IoT devices connected globally, security has become a major concern. Many IoT devices are vulnerable to attacks due to weak passwords, outdated firmware, and limited processing power, making them prime targets for cybercriminals. As IoT continues to integrate into critical sectors like healthcare, energy, and smart cities, securing these devices is paramount.

Encryption, network segmentation, and zero-trust architecture are just a few of the measures being discussed to safeguard IoT ecosystems, but are they enough?

What do you think are the most pressing security challenges for IoT devices today? How can manufacturers ensure secure updates and patching of vulnerabilities post-deployment? And what steps can organizations take to fortify their IoT networks? Let’s explore the future of IoT security and how we can address the growing risks in a hyper-connected world.
