The document discusses how the Internet of Things (IoT) will lead to a massive increase in connected devices from 2 billion in 2006 to an estimated 200 billion devices by 2020, with an average of 26 smart devices for every person on earth. This proliferation of IoT devices will generate huge amounts of data but also introduces significant security risks as each new device presents a potential vulnerability. While businesses see efficiency benefits to implementing IoT, they must find ways to balance strong security with user-friendly access to address growing threats from online hackers and ensure the security of the vast amounts of new data generated.

The biggest benefit for businesses to head toward IoT? Efficiency
The Major Disadvantage to IoT? Security
Remember those 26 smart pieces of
technology per person we mentioned?
Each device will be a point of
information vulnerability.
Today the average person has a minimum of 17 passwords.
61% of people reuse the same password on multiple websites and
89% of them feel secure with their current password management
and use habits.
On average, password reset requests make up 10% - 30%
of all IT helpdesk calls. It’s a productivity black hole.
Every connected device will require
password protection.
The IoT will create an abundance of data that will not be
secure if the security measures of today don’t evolve
with the technology of tomorrow.
Businesses must find a
way to balance strong
