Strategies to Address Security Risks in IoT Deployments

The Internet of Things (IoT) has been expanding at a dizzying pace. Over 27 billion networked devices will be online in 2021 and 75 billion by 2025. The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) alone could add $14 trillion to the global economy by 2030.

However, the opportunity of moving to the IIoT is not without security challenges. A weakness in just one device can make all other devices on the network vulnerable to risks including:

-Cyberattacks
-Process interruptions
-Unauthorized manipulation
-Corporate espionage

Protecting your IIoT devices and networks from these dangers can't be an afterthought. Opt for security by design.
