Security Risks in the IoT.3 era cannot be ignored, IBM warns. Bob Fox, IBM’s Global Industry Leader for Telecommunications, Media and Entertainment is preparing for an IoT.3 ecosystem in which cloud-based big data services and industry analytics will play a key role in providing “systems of insight” through a network of sensors.
This is a mighty leap from the current IoT scenario of dashboards, device management and sensor connectivity and monitoring, which seems primitive in comparison. While efficiency, quality of service, sustainability and cost reduction are some of the ‘fun’ benefits that can be expected with M2M, on the flip side, there are serious risks of end-to-end security that governments will need to grapple with. The road to M2M nirvana is littered with security obstacles and the risk increases exponentially as sensors and connectivity extend to ‘things’ like jet engines.
