7 Common IoT Security Gaps that Lead to Costly Data Breaches \u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

IoT adoption is increasing at an unprecedented pace. Experts project that the total number of installed IoT-connected devices worldwide will amount to 30.9 billion units by 2025.1<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n

However, increased IoT technology adoption has opened the door for high-level security risks and threats, especially those that are tough to defend against because of flaws in many IoT devices.<\/span><\/p>\n

These characteristics of IoT will help you understand why risks and threats are prevalent:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The IoT does not depend on human intervention to function.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Multiple devices through an interconnected network collect, communicate, analyze and act on data.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. A lot of sensitive data gets shared through IoT devices.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Here are some numbers to quantify the dangers caused by unchecked IoT adoption:<\/span><\/p>\n
