Evolving Cybersecurity: Key Trends And Innovations For The Future
Internet of Things (IoT): Security Risks Uncovered
With IoT devices set to exceed 75 billion by 2025, vulnerabilities have magnified a hundredfold. Gartner estimates that over 25% of cyberattacks will involve IoT by then. The connectivity revolution opens doors for hackers like never before. But here’s the kicker…
From smart fridges to connected cars, these devices collect extensive data daily, often with lax security measures. How would you feel if a cybercriminal accessed your entire home through your thermostat? This scenario is no longer a distant possibility.
Efforts to standardize IoT security, such as the introduction of IoT-specific firewalls, are underway. Still, the sheer volume and diversity of devices make it an uphill battle. And the most staggering part is yet to come…
Companies toying with blockchain for secure IoT solutions may finally bridge the security gap. But deploying blockchain at this scale requires technological leaps we’ve yet to fully realize. How this unfolds could redefine device security itself.
