Everything from coffee makers to cows are connected and computing these days, and from a enterprise perspective all that data can be a major liability. Where your company’s IT team may be used to dealing with site security and your normal document flow, newly connected “things” may provide new opportunities for security breaches. Some of the top industrial uses for the Internet of things include real-time analytics, factory automation, robotics, and supply chain efficiency applications. If you don’t want to lose some trade secrets, customer data (if you produce Internet of thing goods), or give competitors a chance to just wreak a bit of havoc in your process, make sure data in your Internet of things’ devices is completely secure.
