TECHNICAL AND INFRASTRUCTURAL CHALLENGES OF IOT AND HOW TO OVERCOME THEM

By 2025, forecasts suggest that there will be more than 75 billion Internet of Things (IoT) connected devices in use. This would be a nearly threefold increase from the IoT installed base in 2019.

There are countless physical devices around the world that are connected via the internet. There is interchanging of data going on every second. It is pretty much adding digital intelligence to devices with sensors and no human assistance. With times changing, this innovation is getting bigger, better, and impactful on our everyday lives. Businesses are  integrating the Internet of Things into their various work models and are observing impactful outcomes for themselves. Nevertheless, there are still some obstacles that come the developers way and they are doing their best to overcome them. 

DATA SECURITY AND PRIVACY CONCERNS

IoT is doing things in wonderful ways around the world. There are more and more devices being added to the IoT network and there are also vulnerabilities associated with every other device. Besides, there’s also tonnes of data being produced every minute that is harnessed, distributed, stored, and processed by all big and small businesses using the Internet of Technology. This massive amount of data that is produced is difficult to manage even with technology such as Artificial Intelligence and its algorithms. 

As long as there exists inadequate IoT security standards, the developers will continue to create devices with poor security systems. Weak passwords, hardware shortcomings, an unsafe update mechanism, insecure data transfer and storage, and unpatched softwares and operating systems are the underlined obstacles that are seen in IoT devices and are seen to exist from the manufacturers end…..Read more- TECHNICAL AND INFRASTRUCTURAL CHALLENGES OF IOT AND HOW TO OVERCOME THEM
