Wide-scale implementation of Internet of Things (IoT) concept has the ability to transform the way we live. The emergence of new IoT products such as home automation components, internet-enabled appliances and energy management devices are changing the entire scenario of IoT industry. However, lack of security is still one of the most important concerns for people and enterprises that look to adopt IoT. Recent ransomware and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks have made this concern even more viable.
In the past few years, the concept of internet of things (IoT) and connected devices such as wireless sensors, smart meters, home automation systems and wearable devices have witnessed strong penetration. Decline in the prices of sensors coupled with the rising wireless connectivity has led to the emergence of ‘smart devices’ that are capable of communicating without human intervention. Nevertheless, with the rise in adoption of connected devices, the data (generated from the network) processing becomes a challenging task.
