The Innovative Internet of Everything and Everywhere

The Innovative Internet of Everything and Everywhere

The IoT is growing at a staggering rate with estimates that up to 50 billion devices will be connected by 2020. This expansion is driven by innovations in wireless connectivity, particularly 5G coverage, and advancements in wearable and implantable technology. The IoT has the potential to increase automation and reduce risks, but it also poses significant risks in terms of security and possible regulatory challenges. With a million malware threats released every day, the IoT is woefully lacking in security. Companies and consumers need to demand tighter security and net neutrality, and engage in conscious conversation about this expanding network of connections. Failure to address these issues could result in a dystopian future dominated by the IoT with no place left to hide.
