In reply to Oliver.

This is a great point, Oliver - both from the big data and the security perspective. As I always explain to those who are new to IoT, it's not about the 50 billion connected objects. After all, connected objects aren't new, and they aren't even particularly interesting, since they only generate data. Data has little value, in and of itself. What IoT does, though, is to network all of those objects together, so that the data can be shared between them and analyzed as a whole - thereby producing actionable intelligence. The same can be said about your security. By networking them together, you can take security data and produce security intelligence that's actionable in real time. It really just takes the network itself, the ability to process at the edge (close to where the data is), and an app to analyze the data to produce the required intelligence - and take the appropriate action.
