SECURITY IN THE INTERNET OF THINGS

March 1, 2016

Although it has been with us in some form and under different names for many years, the Internet of Things (IoT) is suddenly the thing.

The transition from closed networks to enterprise IT networks to the public Internet is accelerating at an alarming pace—and justly raising alarms about security. As we become increasingly reliant on intelligent, interconnected devices in every aspect of our lives, how do we protect potentially billions of them from intrusions and interference that could compromise personal privacy or threaten public safety?
