The security risks associated with IoT (Internet of Things) devices primarily stem from their constant internet connectivity and often inadequate security measures. These devices, ranging from smart home appliances to industrial sensors, can be exploited by attackers to gain unauthorized access, leading to data breaches or malware infections. Many IoT devices lack robust encryption and authentication protocols, making them vulnerable to hacking. Additionally, the vast number of deployed devices creates significant attack surfaces. Compromised IoT devices can serve as entry points into larger networks, amplifying security threats. Therefore, securing IoT ecosystems is critical for protecting sensitive data and infrastructure.
