IoT security
Protecting devices, networks, data and platforms against misuse, from secure identities to encrypted traffic and timely updates.
Key basics: unique device credentials (no shared default passwords), encrypted communication, secure updates and a process to handle vulnerabilities.
Why it matters for business
A security incident can damage trust, trigger fines and require recalls. Regulations such as the EU Cyber Resilience Act and the UK PSTI Act are making these basics mandatory.
