Security and Analytics Among the Top Emerging IoT Trends
Security, analytics and device management will have a major effect on the nascent Internet of Things (IoT) technology market next year and the one after that, according to market research firm Gartner.
The analyst group identified ten technologies that will help organizations fully unlock the IoT's potential in 2017 and 2018. Naturally, creating and maintaining a secure ecosystem of IoT solutions looms large over Gartner's list.
"Experienced IoT security specialists are scarce, and security solutions are currently fragmented and involve multiple vendors, new threats will emerge through 2021 as hackers find new ways to attack IoT devices and protocols, so long-lived 'things' may need updatable hardware and software to adapt during their life span," said Gartner vice president Nick Jones in a statement.
