IoT Device Security by Design: A 2025 Mandate?
IoT Device Security by Design: A 2025 Mandate? The Internet of Things (IoT) has exploded in recent years, connecting billions of devices from smart thermostats to industrial sensors. However, this rapid growth has often come at the expense of security, leaving IoT devices vulnerable to cyberattacks. As we move closer to 2025, the question arises: Will security by design become a mandate for IoT device manufacturers? The Current State of IoT Security Currently, IoT security is a fragmented landscape. Many devices are shipped with default passwords, unpatched vulnerabilities, and lack secure update mechanisms. This makes them easy targets for hackers,
