Billions of Internet of Things (IoT) devices are being compromised each year as malicious actors exploit a variety of security gaps to organize botnets, steal data and mine cryptocurrency. While the IoT now represents the single largest attack surface for most organizations, few have taken steps to adequately secure their IoT environment.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is enabling an economic transformation that may eventually rival the Industrial Revolution. PricewaterhouseCoopers analysts say the IoT will soon become a multi-trillion dollar industry, and Gartner researchers predict more than half of new businesses will run on the IoT within two years.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is expanding rapidly, with some analysts predicting the number of connected devices will reach nearly 50 billion in the next couple of years. Such massive connectivity is expected to drive new efficiencies in countless industries, including healthcare, manufacturing, energy and utilities, and more.
