IoT Security Remains a Big Challenge
As the Internet of Things (IoT) rapidly expands by millions of connected appliances and devices each year, the inherent security risks grow even more glaring. IoT security is the act of securing Internet of Things devices and the networks they’re connected to. In the business setting, IoT devices include industrial machines, smart energy grids, building automation, plus whatever personal IoT devices employees bring to work.
IoT devices were not built with security in mind. In the majority of cases, there is no way to install security on the device itself. In addition, they sometimes ship with malware on them, which then infects the network they are connected to.
Some network security doesn't have the ability to detect IoT devices connected to it and/or the visibility to know what devices are communicating through the network.
One big hurdle in securing IoT products and services is keeping data private. Sixty-two percent of consumers said they believe the security of their IoT devices needs improvement, according to Gemalto, which also found that 38 percent of companies find data privacy to be a challenge; 34 percent said collecting large amounts of data is an obstacle to IoT security.
Security issue is everywhere, we must try to avoid the loss caused by security problems. Rakinda as a professiional of IoT solution provider. We are focus on barcode scanner, RFID reader, scan engine. There we widely used in asset tracking, warehouse, logistics, etc. Our scan engine can easily embedded into a variety of devices, like PDA, kiosk, turnstile and more. If customer worried about the security issue, we can provide demo and SDK for free. It can meet customers’ different requirements.
