The Internet of Things (IoT) has become an integral part of our daily lives, revolutionising various industries with its innovative applications. IoT devices, such as smart appliances, security systems, and home hubs, have made our lives more convenient and efficient. They are used in sectors including healthcare, agriculture, and defence, providing benefits like enhanced efficiency, cost savings, and data-driven decision-making.
In the context of business integration, IoT cyber security is critical to the success and security of the integration. Cyber security concerns in any integration can be complex, particularly due to vulnerabilities and breaches that may arise from non-compatible systems and policies. These risks include due diligence, compliance, managing IoT systems, finance-related risks, and asset-related risks.
Several high-profile integration transactions have suffered due to cyber security issues. For instance, Experian's acquisition of Court Ventures and Verizon's purchase of Yahoo! were impacted by cyber security issues that surfaced after the transactions were announced. Furthermore, several IoT providers have been through critical cyber security breaches, which can significantly affect any business.
