Cybersecurity in IoT Networks

Cyber security is essential in the IoT because one threat or hack could disrupt the network - or worse, give a cyber criminal complete access to the entire system. In industries such as defense or military operations, the IoT houses extremely sensitive information. If the IoT is accessed via a weak network point or vulnerable device, hackers then have the ability to retrieve intelligence or cause physical damage to the entire network. While businesses, government and health care sectors have increasingly reaped the benefits of the IoT, this shift to interconnectedness also has raised the stakes in terms of risk and the potential financial and security damage that can occur from a hack. The more devices that are added to a network, the greater number of opportunities cyber criminals are granted for "entrances" to the data.
