We are increasingly collaborating with our customers on decentralized identities for devices. This advancement allows us to implement cross-ecosystem authentication and authorization function directly for the devices. Moreover, leveraging decentralized identities enhances trust and transparency in the generated data, ensuring accuracy for all participants involved.

The security of IoT is one of the most dangerous principal which everyone working in this field has to be very carful, otherwise all the benefits which we will get from IoT will be converted to destroy ourselves

I think we're going to see segmenting occur to separate IoT devices and I think we're going to see an evolution of monitoring tools.  The IoT devices for the most part are simple, but that doesn't mean they won't either be attacked or used for attack.  I think the next evolution will be to treat them as an endpoint that needs to be secured.

Too many firms don’t focus on the core security issues to secure their IoT infrastructure.

It’s not about evolving threats. It is dealing with current threats.

With that, security is almost always behind the curve as attackers have the advantage of, and the security teams have to defend against it.

I think the security tools currently in use for commercial entities like CarbonBlack, Darktrace and managed EDR will move into the consumer space to protect household networks.  Perhaps similar to how alarm companies migrated from the commercial to consumer space 25 years ago.

Home networks are not going to become simpler or less critical and cyber criminals are not going to become less creative or persistent; so, the natural response will be more robust protection for consumer grade networks and endpoints.
