3 Things to Know Before Building and Deploying IoT Devices
IoT lives in a complex ecosystem, and IoT devices often cast some confusion. When building out a new IoT device, know these three fundamentals: (1) All commercial IoT devices must undergo rigorous certifications, (2) edge intelligence isn’t married to IoT devices and (3) IoT devices don’t need a (public) IP address to be exposed to security threats.

“The cloud” is just a marketing buzzword that hides tens of thousands of racks in data centers filled with virtualizable servers, computers and storage. In this context, security responsibilities remain very concrete but need to be approached and organized differently.
