The widespread adoption of IoT technologies has improved connectivity and convenience across industries, homes, and infrastructure.
However, this growth has also brought a range of security challenges, including limited device resources, inconsistent protection measures, and expanding attack surfaces.
Overcoming these issues demands a thorough understanding of IoT vulnerabilities and the implementation of effective strategies focused on strong authentication, encryption, proactive threat detection, and end-to-end security frameworks.
Currently, there are approximately 17.08 billion IoT-connected devices worldwide, a figure projected to nearly double to 29.42 billion by 2030.
