What Is IoT Security? Issues, Challenges, and Best Practices

IoT Security or Internet of Things Security is a cybersecurity practice to protect IoT devices and their networks from cyber threats. Some commonly used IoT devices include smart home devices, smart watches, smart door locks, networked security cameras, autonomous connected cars, voice control devices, smart healthcare devices, etc.
Since IoT devices store and transfer data over the internet, IoT security is needed to help prevent data breaches. IoT devices have no built-in security, which is why companies need to give extra priority to their security.
