Dear Readers,
Greetings from Swan Solutions!
We live in an era of Internet of Things (IoT) - digitally connected devices play a role in every aspect of our lives including homes, cars, enterprises and even our bodies. We've
heard about the benefits IoT can bring to consumers as well as industries like BFSI, Healthcare, Manufacturing and Retail. We must also realise that it implies a whole new level of
security concerns.
A friend recently mentioned that he got a warning pop-up while registering for a service online - that his device was on an insecure network. When he got it checked, he realized
the network had indeed been hacked for a long while. That's the core problem with IoT - with so many devices connected to the network, it's difficult to ensure that we leave no weak
link
It's a challenging task for any IT team to manage the new ecosystem, especially using traditional methods. While you evolve your business to suit newer needs, ensure you plan for a secure network by equipping your team with newer solutions.
This Newsletter will take you through the importance of security in the IoT era. Hope you enjoy reading it!.
Regards
C.E.O

IoT is Changing the Security Landscape
2016 has been a tremendous year of growth for IoT. This tech trend is changing the cyber security landscape in every possible way. Researchers believe that there
will be 50 billion connected devices by 2020, and devices will produce ten times the data produced today. While businesses are moving from interest to implementation
stages of IoT solutions, network operators are trying to make sure everything is in place to ensure security. And this will affect your organization.
The army of heterogeneous devices, new protocols and network traffic poses a huge threat to enterprises. Today, business data goes through thousands of devices
that may be vulnerable, and one weak link can give hackers unlimited access to sensitive data. These changes can increase threat and add new types of risks and breaches.
It is difficult for any IT team to meet new challenges with old fashioned methods. While considering IoT, one must remember that it comes with additional security
requirements like fine-grained network access controls, dynamic network segmentation, analytics with threat intelligence and automated remedies. Apart from new technologies
and processes, CIOs and CISOs also have to address cultural changes.
The bad news is the industry has a long way to go in implementing the right measures. The good news, however, is that the cyber security landscape is quickly adapting
to the new demands of IoT. By partnering with the right vendors, you can stay ahead of competitors and equip your organization to meet the growing demand for security.
