Solving security challenges key to future IoT explosion

The Internet of Things (IoT) is often described as a disruptive cross industry force which is expected to transform the manufacturing value chain into a state of hyper-connectivity. While it is only a matter of time before end users see the compelling benefits of real-time data collection and personalised infotainment systems, several roadblocks remain before the IoT will reach its expected levels.

A new report by Frost & Sullivan, entitled “Internet of Things (IoT) – Challenges and Impediments, finds that improving the speed and reliability of communication, enforcing and maintaining a robust security platform and managing high volume datasets are paramount to the success of the highly dynamic IoT landscape.
