The increasing number of connected devices poses security risks

As more and more devices become connected to the internet, such as smart TVs and IoT devices, there is a growing concern about the security risks they pose. Buyers and consumers drive the demand for connected devices, but this also increases the risk of potential vulnerabilities in software, hardware, and interfaces. The proliferation of IoT devices and the shift towards LTE and 5G connectivity further complicates the security landscape. Additionally, the ease of replacing rather than fixing these inexpensive devices raises concerns about maintaining an effective security posture. Organizations struggle to manage the risks associated with these devices, especially as they lack comprehensive frameworks for vulnerability management and security updates.
