The theme of this year’s Cyber Security Awareness Month is “Our Shared Responsibility.” At Cisco, security is everyone’s responsibility – from our trustworthy development processes, to innovation enabling our customers and partners to address threats on end points, networks, and in the cloud. That is why Cisco is setting the industry standard for meeting the security needs demanded by the Internet of Everything (IoE).
Over the next six years, the number of devices connected to the Internet is going to reach 50 billion, creating some pretty unique opportunities and dilemmas as companies and industries are connecting people and devices to one another in ways we’ve never seen before, changing the way we work and live.
As the number of connected devices in the “Internet of Things” increases exponentially, organizations must keep security top of mind as the number and type of attack vectors increases alongside the quantity of data IoE creates. This shift is creating a daunting challenge for companies and those responsible to defend the infrastructure.
I recently did a video blog on the IoE from the security perspective. Take a look and let me know what you think in the comments.
The evolution of Internet as well as the Security issues that arise with the growing number of interconnected devices place a big challenge indeed. Thank you for sharing this interesting article and video.
