3The Internet of Things makes cybersecurity even more crucial and also more
difficult to achieve
With the IoT, security challenges move from a company’s traditional IT infrastructure into its
connected products in the field and remain an issue through the entire product lifecycle –
long after products have been sold. What is more, the industrial IoT, or Industry ,
means that security becomes a pervasive issue in production as well. Cyber threats in
the world of IoT can have consequences beyond compromised customer privacy. Critical
equipment, such as pacemakers and entire manufacturing plants, are now vulnerable,
meaning that customer health and a company’s total production capability are at risk.
As the IoT is connecting these additional “things” – be it products, production systems, or
other devices – the sheer number of cybersecurity attack vectors increases dramatically.
While in the past, the number of endpoints in a large corporate network would be somewhere
between 50,000 and 500,000, with the IoT, we are talking about millions or tens of millions
of endpoints. Unfortunately
