In the absence of IoT security regulations, many smart product manufacturers simply release new devices that lack built-in security measures and have not undergone proper security review and testing. Take manufacturing, for instance. As systems become increasingly automated, manufacturers will begin deploying Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) on the plant floor and/or incorporating smart gadgets into their products. MORE
