Defining DevSecOps for IoT
DevOps.com, Monday, May 20th, 2024
The Internet of Things (IoT) has brought plenty of benefits to companies and consumers, allowing businesses to track inventory in their supply chain, landlords to measure their tenants' energy consumption, and pet owners to find a lost cat.
It's become a significant part of the Internet infrastructure, too. The number of global IoT connections grew by 18% in 2022 to 14.3 billion active IoT endpoints, with no end in sight.
But for all the technology's advantages, it also presents new security challenges. IoT technology uses network connections to facilitate communication between devices and systems. When devices are IoT-enabled, they can collect and transmit data in real-time, enhancing efficiency, safety and convenience across various applications and industries. All that enables great technological feats. and gives bad actors new opportunities.
