Consumers worry about IoT security while researchers assess true threats

More than half of consumers don't believe Internet of Things (IoT) devices have the necessary security in place to keep their data secure, according to new research from Auth0. Adding insult to injury, developers shared consumers' worries, with 90 percent believing the IoT devices on the market currently don't have proper security measures in place. In a separate study, Kaspersky Lab researchers, and in particular, David Jacoby, looked around his home for IoT devices. Naturally, Jacoby wanted to test how vulnerable his products were and what kind of security risks they posed.
