The IoT market will grow to $1.46 trillion by 2020, which is a $700 billion increase from 2016. IDC’s survey of IoT decision-makers found that 73% of respondents have already deployed IoT solutions across their organizations.
The issue is that manufacturers of IoT devices aren’t prioritizing security because consumers right now aren’t focused on security. Consumers who are interested in figuring out how secure their IoT devices are don’t have a way to measure security. The DHS issued a document called “Strategic Principles for Security the Internet of Things,” which details the best practices manufacturers should follow to build security for the IoT devices they create. Below are a few best practices:
- Prioritize Security During the Design Phase
- Push Security Updates
- Participate in Threat Information Sharing
- Use Transparent Supply Chains
Companies can use endpoint security software to keep their IoT devices protected from cyber threats. Promisec Endpoint Manager (PEM) lets companies monitor their IoT devices for suspicious activity and malware.
