Threat implications of the Internet of Things

March 1, 2016

There are currently more objects connected to the Internet than there are people in the world. This gap will continue to grow, as more objects gain the ability to directly interface with the Internet or become physical representations of data accessible via Internet systems. This trend toward greater object interaction in the Internet is collectively described as the Internet of Things (IoT). As with previous global technology trends, such as widespread mobile adoption and datacenter consolidation, the changing information landscape associated with the Internet of Things represents considerable change to the attack surface and threat environment of the Internet and Internet-connected systems.
