The IoT Changes Everything, Even Application Monitoring

The world is becoming a smarter place — and that’s not about IQ, though those are also generally going up. Rather, things that previously didn’t have a brain are gaining the ability to communicate and learn. Your toaster knows that you like a lighter brown than your partner; your car knows which route you prefer to go to work. The Internet of Things (IoT) is growing larger and faster, and it’s changing the world. While most folks focus on how the IoT is modifying their daily routines, business and IT leaders are more interested in how the IoT is affecting security and efficiency. Despite the initial burst of vulnerabilities associated with IoT devices, most experts agree that the IoT is doing great things, especially for application monitoring.
