IOT Security
When we say the Internet Of Things(IOT) it really brings about a bad thought into our minds, or at least in mine. I never really understood why someone would come up with this term because it bring a bad connotation and that can bring about a lot of hesitancy to buy the devices. It can be quite hard to understand or even harder to conceptualize the use the devices in question. IOT is in its simplest form is just that a device that needs to be connected to the internet and be able to connect to a server in some other location such as an camera that is outside to watch the property, or even a wireless connection that is used to monitor the door being locked or unlocked. This however can be bad because like any other way we have seen bad people figure out ways around this technology and use it for their own devices or against the owners. The privacy and security of the devices have been almost overlooked in the past due to the newness of the technology and how companies didn’t think about how to implement it in the right way.
IOT Benefits
Security and privacy aside right now, the benefits of using an IOT device is become easier to use. Even now the technologies associated with the IOT devices are becoming more mature and more reliable. According to IOT-Analytics There are 40+ emerging technologies from the IOT devices such as Hardware, IOT Marketplace, and even 6G technologies being developed. The IOT device helps secure out homes and our properties and also help make our lives just a little bit better each day by allowing us to let them to the small jobs in our life or makes it so we feel a little bit more secure in our own little home. The benefits allows us to automate cleaning the floor or even to communicate with machine to machine which helps speeds up processing of a certain task in the house or allows us to monitor what is going around in the house. I am not sure the interconnectivity of devices is a huge benefit but it is a benefit to some and I can’t imagine our lives not getting better in the long run. I think IOT devices and benefits have a long way to go before they will make a bigger difference in our lives.
