APAC consumers express deep-seated security concerns over IoT devices | Networks Asia | Asia’s Source for Enterprise Network Knowledge
Internet users in Asia-Pacific want security and privacy guarantees for the Internet of Things (IoT) – the rapidly expanding network of devices, physical objects, services and applications that communicate over the Internet, according to the Internet Society’s 5th APAC survey on Policy Issues.
With IoT devices rapidly gaining traction in the region, the majority of respondents indicated they already own IoT devices and have plans to purchase more. Seven-in-ten respondents own at least one IoT device and close to half already own three or more devices. Furthermore, close to three-quarters of the respondents plan to purchase an IoT device in the next 12 months.
