Amid the business disruption caused by the ongoing pandemic, more and more enterprises are recognizing the Internet of Things’ (IoT) vast potential to help them stay competitive. The IoT offers enterprises superior visibility into their operations, enabling organizations to maintain control and stay agile—even in the face of market uncertainty. For these reasons, it’s no surprise that BI Intelligence reports that those who adopt IoT can experience increased productivity, reduced operating costs and expansion into new markets.
However, despite the IoT’s promise, there remains one common barrier to adoption—concerns over the technology’s security. According to Syniverse, more than 50% of organizations cite data, network and device security as their biggest challenge when it comes to deploying and managing IoT solutions. Fortunately, IoT advancements have made it so that enterprises needn’t choose between productive operations and organizational security when choosing their deployments.
