Companies embracing IoT despite security risks
Summary
New research from Kaspersky has revealed that 61 percent of businesses are already using IoT platforms despite the significant security risks that come with their adoption. IoT platforms currently have many use cases including smart cities, grids, metering, transportation and logistics as well as automated manufacturing and connected heating, venting and air conditioning (HVAC). Kasperskys survey shows that 28 percent of companies using IoT platforms stated that they had experienced incidents involving non-computing connected devices last year. Additionally, IoT platforms can be connected to critical systems, such as traffic, power or transportation processes, which makes it vital to ensure their continuity and integrity. As the survey shows, cybersecurity is also a question that needs resolving in the IoT space — in terms of security of equipment, technical and organisational protection measures and data privacy, as well as other factors.
