Challenges in Securing IoT Devices in 2024
The Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionized the way we live and work, connecting billions of devices and enabling seamless communication between machines, systems, and people. From smart homes and wearable devices to industrial automation and healthcare systems, IoT technologies are at the forefront of innovation. However, as we continue to integrate IoT devices into nearly every aspect of our lives, the security risks associated with these devices have grown exponentially. As we enter 2024, the challenge of securing IoT devices has become more pressing than ever. Fragmentation of IoT Ecosystem One of the most significant challenges in securing IoT devices is the fragmentation of the IoT ecosystem . There are countless manufacturers producing a wide variety of devices, from smart fridges and thermostats to industrial sensors and medical equipment. Each manufacturer may have its own approach to security, resulting in inconsistent standards across devices. This lack of standardiza
