IoT Security: Protecting Your Smart Devices

1
What Is IoT Security? Issues, Challenges, and
Best Practices

Introduction
IoT Security or Internet of Things Security is a
cybersecurity practice to protect IoT devices and
their networks from cyber threats. Some commonly
used IoT devices include smart home devices,
smart watches, smart door locks, networked
security cameras, autonomous connected cars,
voice control devices, smart healthcare devices,
etc. Since IoT devices store and transfer data
over the internet, IoT security is needed to help
prevent data breaches. IoT devices have no
built-in security, which is why companies need to
give extra priority to their security.
