Many IoT devices do not receive regular security updates, making them perpetual risks on networks.
There are often no unified security standards for all connected devices, making it difficult to implement security measures.
The diversity and number of devices make networks complex and difficult to monitor and to protect.
With more devices generating and sending data, the risk of data tampering or data loss increases.
The identification and authentication of devices on a network is becoming increasingly more important, but also more complicated.
The ability to detect anomalies or attacks in real time is becoming more important, but also requires more resources.
With more devices having access to sensitive data, the risk of insiders misusing that data also increases.
Many organizations do not have the resources to ensure the security of a large number of devices.
As the number of connected devices increases, regulatory requirements for data privacy and security also become more complex.
Since many devices come from different manufacturers, there is a risk of security breaches across the supply chain.
IoT devices are often physically accessible and can therefore also be compromised in a physical way.
