IoT Security and Privacy
IoT systems face unique security and privacy risks due to their interconnected nature, primarily resulting from weak authentication methods and the potential for data breaches. Major threats include data snooping and device hijacking, while best practices for securing IoT devices emphasize device-level protections, encryption, and strong network security measures. Compliance with legal regulations such as GDPR and CCPA is critical to ensure user trust and avoid sanctions.
