IoT Infrastructure The Internet of Things (IoT) will fundamentally change all industries, from agriculture to transportation to healthcare. In the next few decades, nearly everything in our world will become connected. But with that increased connectivity comes several concerns. For example, the IoT will generate immense amounts of data, which will put pressure on the…

Gartner researchers liberally sprinkled internet of things (IoT) throughout the firm’s Top Ten Strategy Technology Trends for 2020, for good reason. IoT is central to the emergence of so-called edge computing, the technical term for anywhere sensors capture real-time information. This data could be from the connected cars we’re driving, inside wearables tracking the fitness…

Would you deploy an IoT device if you knew it could be hacked? Surprisingly, the answer is usually “yes.” Even though security exploits are frequently reported, billions of devices are deployed every year because, in most cases, the tangible benefits of IoT solutions outweigh any perceived risks. However, a big increase in device breaches would…

The Internet of Things (IoT) is driving transformational change in IT infrastructures. Connecting everything — printers, medical devices, cameras, industrial devices, door locks, cars, etc. — to the network, the cloud or both is creating a vast, porous security perimeter. In fact, it’s largely undefendable using traditional security architectures. The security problem will only grow…
