The Internet of Things (IoT) has never been that far away from cybersecurity discussions in the past few months. It was the topic of conversation at Infosecurity Europe earlier this year and again about IP Expo last month.
In general, the assumption is that the IoT simply isn’t secure and that widespread adoption should be curtailed until these issues are ironed out, so it was surprising to see a Vodafone survey that suggested fears were waning.
And then only this week, a new survey was published suggesting that not only is IoT security insufficient, many businesses are being complacent.
So we thought we’d ask you, the readers, what you think. Here are the highlights from both pieces of research so you can judge and let us know.
