Sebastien Pavie, regional director for enterprise and cybersecurity at Gemalto, explains both the perils and potential of the Internet of Things, and how you best protect sensitive data.
IN AN INCREASINGLY CONNECTED world, the Internet of ings (IoT) is delivering business value and real-world benefits to individuals across the globe. From increasing physical safety to creating fundamental changes to how we build and consume products, the IoT is creating the data that unearths insights into better ways to work and live.
In order to deploy IoT solutions effectively and successfully, security must remain a top priority. Maintaining data integrity and confidentiality remains paramount while building a resilient cybersecurity ecosystem.
IoT-based attacks are already a reality and as the number of connected IoT devices is set to top 20 billion by 2023, businesses must act quickly to ensure their ability to detect IoT device breaches. Gemalto’s 2018 State of IoT Security Report reveals that 48 per cent of businesses are unable to detect if any of their IoT devices suffers a breach. e biggest issue is protecting the increasing amount of data companies collect, with only 59 per cent of those using IoT, and spending on IoT security, admitting they encrypt all of their data.
