As IoT adoption surges, security risks grow rapidly. IoT devices, from home appliances to healthcare systems, are vulnerable to cyberattacks due to outdated firmware, lack of patching, and insecure communication protocols. IoT security involves protecting these interconnected devices from data breaches, unauthorized access, and other threats. High-risk industries like healthcare and aviation face especially severe consequences. Best practices include penetration testing, firmware analysis, adherence to frameworks like OWASP IoT, and STRIDE threat modeling. Securing IoT is critical to safeguarding sensitive data and ensuring operational continuity.
