The growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) has made the lives of individuals and companies much more convenient. However, this evolution has not been without fault, as the developments have been too rapid for security to keep up with, in many situations. The good news with IoT growing so quickly is there will almost always be companies offering cyber security opportunities. One of the main questions, however, is whether the level of security will ever catch up to the growth of IoT. Here are some predictions to consider.
More IoT Devices Means More Security Risks
With experts predicting the amount of IoT devices to exceed 20 billion within the next year, security concerns have only scratched the surface. Every aspect of our lives will be impacted by IoT in some form in the future. The problem is many IoT devices don’t have the level of security needed to be safe from sophisticated cyber criminals, so cyber risks will continue increasing. As such, we can safely predict the number of cyber security positions available will increase along with the number of IoT devices created.
IoT For Automobiles Will Come Into Play
The automotive industry has been largely disconnected from IoT, but experts believe this will change very soon. While the features in an automobile could be extremely convenient, there are also some dangerous risks associated with them. Any device can get hacked, and when you’re talking about a vehicle getting hacked, you can only imagine the potential dangers presented to yourself and others. This is why so many cyber security opportunities require employees to be innovative thinkers to stay ahead of these trends that have not yet been developed.
Smart Homes And Smart Cities Will Continue Emerging
Smart homes have begun taking over and it will slowly transform into smart cities as well. Home security companies not only have to focus on physical security today, but cyber security as well. We haven’t heard of many instances where smart homes have been hacked into, but it will inevitably happen in the future. Sophisticated cyber security positions may prevent large-scale attacks, even though plenty of risks will continue evolving as smart homes and smart cities become more of the norm.
