6 ways of protecting your IoT operations

Businesses are increasingly adopting connected technologies such as wearables and office sensors to streamline operations and boost productivity, and as a result, the Internet of Things (IoT) industry is on the up. By 2020, there'll be more than 50 billion internet-connected objects in use, and the industry will be turning over trillions in profit annually, according to Cisco. At the same time, these devices will be generating large amounts of data. Clearly, the industry is entering a golden age. But while there's major potential here, there are fears that cybercriminals are eyeing up IoT as a lucrative opportunity.
