The internet of things (IoT) is changing nearly every industry. Smart devices that can collect and process data, and even make decisions based on that data, though artificial intelligence promises to disrupt business as we know it for years to come.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is changing how the world works. Machine to machine (M2M) communication simply makes for faster, more timely, and transparent connections, thereby saving us a lot of time and money. In the hands of the right people, the IoT has great potential to improve quality of life. But some people have found a way to exploit the IoT for their own gain. They do this through the IoT botnet.

Wearables, smart speakers, remote security systems, connected cars, inventory trackers, smart headphones: these are just a handful of the connected devices in modern workplaces. The Internet of Things (IoT), or internet-enabled devices that collect and act upon data, is becoming more popular with ever-increasing applications. Far beyond a smart coffee pot that automatically gets the brew going to start the workday, the Internet of Things is changing business security and vulnerability in a big way.
