New Report Reveals 97% of Organizations Face Challenges Securing IoT and Connected Devices

In today’s interconnected world, the Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged as a groundbreaking phenomenon. It promises to revolutionize industries, enhance efficiencies, and transform the daily experiences of businesses.

However, as IoT continues its rapid expansion and becomes increasingly integrated into business activity, the need for digital trust becomes a chief concern. Digital trust is quickly becoming both the framework and backbone of modern technological integrations and inventions. From remotely updating the software in smart cars to ensuring life-saving pacemakers are designed safely and securely, it all starts with a foundation of digital trust.

The undeniable benefits of IoT and connected device technology, such as helping to digitize business models and provide insights into operations, cannot overshadow the potential risks and vulnerabilities. From data breaches and privacy invasion to manipulation of critical infrastructure, the security of IoT devices demands attention and improvements. With digital trust, companies can build long-term relationships in the connected world in innovative ways — without it they face multiple consequences.

To better understand how organizations are addressing the rising challenges brought by IoT, Keyfactor analyzed survey responses from 1,200 individuals across North America, EMEA, and APAC. These include OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) and those who are using and operating connected devices within their organization.

The report provides a comprehensive overview of the IoT security landscape, covering key factors contributing to vulnerabilities, the consequences of inadequate security measures, and the pressing need for improvements in IoT security. Furthermore, it sheds light on the steps IoT professionals are taking to address these challenges, emphasizing the importance of managing digital identities, PKI solutions, certificate lifecycle automation platforms, and user awareness and education.
