The Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly growing and expected to affect all industry verticals as well as our private lives. In this blog, we reached out to our technology partner Nexus to better understand the challenges that the industry faces to ensure safe deployment and management of IoT technologies. Weak authentication.

The drivers of IoT-centric commerce appear to be unstoppable. Count on the wide deployment of IoT systems to continue at an accelerated rate. There are already more IoT devices than human beings on the planet, according to tech industry research firm Gartner. This time the stakes are too high. Security-by-design lacking.

To protect against those threats, a Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) encryption protocol is recommended. WPA2 is a security protocol that secures wireless networks using the advanced encryption standard (AES). WEP and WPA are both under 4%, while WPA2 commands a 73% share of known wireless encryption connections.

To prevent unwanted access and protect data in transit, wireless connections must be secured with strong authentication procedures, encryption protocols, access control rules, intrusion detection and prevention systems, and other security measures. As a result, wireless networks are prone to eavesdropping, illegal access and theft.
