Securing the IoT has become business-critical
The near ubiquity of IoT does raise the security flag, as it presents a significant threat vector for hackers to breach companies. DigiCert’s goal in running the survey was to understand the state of IoT adoption, understand security implications, and quantify the benefits of having made the investments in IoT security. The survey focused on the four industry verticals where IoT was most mature – industrial, consumer products, healthcare, and transportation – and sampled companies of all sizes, with the median size being 3,000 employees.
