IoT Security
IoT security products are highly specialized to protect devices that connect to the internet but don’t have their own firewalls or built-in security. These security products work specifically to protect networks from cyberattacks that could come via the IoT. IoT is an abbreviation for the internet of things and includes consumer devices that connect to the internet, such as smart thermostats, cameras, watches, sensors on machinery, and many more.
What Small and Midsize Businesses Need to Know About IoT Security
All small businesses that use IoT devices should consider what IoT security they need to protect them from cybercriminals. Small businesses can make an inventory of their IoT devices to discuss with their IT team or managed service provider (MSP).
