The Wi-SUN Alliance's Journey to IoT Maturity report was published in 2022. It highlighted security as one of the top three barriers to IoT adoption for IT decision-makers in the UK and US across a wide range of industries. Phil Beecher, CEO and President of Wi-SUN Alliance, looks at ongoing concerns around security and data privacy.
At its core, the Internet of Things (IoT) offers opportunities to monitor and control real-world objects. It blurs the lines between the digital and physical worlds to unlock new streams of data. These can be used to unlock transformative insights.
During the pandemic, we saw many industries more actively embracing IoT. From air quality monitoring sensors being implemented in smart buildings to the healthcare market using IoT-connected devices to create tailored treatment plans for patients, these technologies have helped to overcome major hurdles during an incredibly challenging period.
