IoT Security

What is IoT security?

IoT security is the practice of protecting internet-connected devices, networks, and data from cyber threats. As the Internet of Things (IoT) expands to include smart cameras, sensors, and other connected devices, strong security measures are needed to prevent hacking, unauthorized access, and data breaches. IoT security involves encryption, authentication, regular software updates, and network monitoring to ensure devices remain protected. Businesses use IoT security to safeguard sensitive data, maintain system integrity, and prevent cyberattacks on critical infrastructure.

Why is IoT security important?

IoT security is important because it protects internet-connected devices, networks, and data from cyber threats, unauthorized access, and hacking. As businesses and homes rely more on smart devices like security cameras, sensors, and automation systems, weak security can expose sensitive information and critical infrastructure to attacks. Without proper protection, cybercriminals can exploit vulnerabilities to disrupt operations, steal data, or take control of devices. Strong IoT security measures, including encryption, authentication, and regular updates, help prevent breaches, ensure system integrity, and maintain trust in connected technologies.
