The future of IoT (Internet of Things) has the potential to be limitless. Advances to the industrial internet will be accelerated by increasing network agility, artificial intelligence, and the capacity to deploy, automate and secure diverse use cases at a hyper-scale (Ploennigs, John & Stanford-Clark, 2018). IoT will experience implications such as Unplugging isn’t easy now and will become tougher in the future. The IoT will be accepted despite dangers as most people believe the worst-case scenario could never happen to them.
As we slowly see IoT becoming mainstream, with companies like Google, Cisco, IBM, Intel, and others leading the revolution, IoT will soon change the way we live, work, travel, and offer a wide range of opportunities for manufacturers and consumers. It also poses major risks in terms of security. As more devices get interconnected, securing them all will be a challenge. Hardware, software, and connectivity will all need to be secure for IoT objects to work effectively. Without security, any connected object can be hacked. Once hackers gain control, they can usurp the object’s functionality and steal the user’s digital data (Sharma, Shamkuwar & Singh, 2019). Thus, it is important to secure these devices these devices as they become more important in our lives and those of our businesses.
