The promise of IoT, however, is that sensors will become much less expensive to integrate and maintain, and therefore they will become far more ubiquitous. As IoT devices become more numerous, less capable, and less personalized, they create a Pandora’s box of security concerns.
In industrial settings, where devices are everywhere, the prevailing belief for many years was that these IoT sensors would be on an air-gapped network, automatically countering many safety concerns. However, with all the data collected now being directly forwarded ..
