IoT security: Innovation on all fronts
The IoT is a complex organism. On one end of the spectrum, it comprises billions of data-gathering, functionality-enabling IoT end-devices deployed the world over in homes, cities, vehicles, factories, and just about anywhere else. On the other end is the cloud, a network of data centres distributed across multiple continents, where data are stored and processed, often using Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms to reveal otherwise hard-to-gain...
