Living in a complex, highly connected and intelligent world has, no doubt, produced greater efficiencies, products, and opportunities for startups and existing businesses. This is further enhanced by the innovative IoT (internet of things) systems that intelligently connect and are able to identify with other devices. While IoTs modus operandi may be similar to RFIDs, IoTs are slightly different and more advanced. They also include other features such as sensor technologies, wireless technologies and QR codes.

IoTs are capable of operating brilliantly without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction. However, as with any cutting-edge technology innovation, IoT offers new problems to solve. While its presence and incorporation into our daily lives may be helping us in tremendous ways, these sensor-rich devices and automated processes offer extensive possibilities for an attacker who may be seeking to exploit the low-level vulnerabilities and insecure coding that characterize their framework.

In a bid to put in place effective security countermeasures, many organizations are now engaging proactive threat assessments measures, patch management approach, incident response, security analytics and situational awareness, which is why partnering with the right expert, like Miller Jones Inc., can make a world of difference!
