Security from the outside in and inside out
The internet of things is a confusing concept. It implies that interconnecting devices is a new concept (it’s well worn), IoT devices are always connected to the internet (they’re not), and the centre of attention is the IoT device (it’s not). Michael Tennefoss of Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company explains.
