As organisations increasingly rely on IoT devices for operational efficiency and data collection, managing each device securely throughout its lifecycle becomes crucial. IoT Device Lifecycle Management (DLM) is a structured approach to securing IoT devices from their initial setup through to decommissioning. By implementing best practices for each stage, organisations can reduce security risks, ensure data protection, and maintain compliance with regulatory standards.
