Slightly less than half of people surveyed <\/a>said that they thought that Internet of Thing (IoT) devices had very weak security. \u00a0In fact these users thought that less than 10 percent of IoT devices security is adequate, according to a survey by IoActive<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What could be worse than that? \u00a0The fact that 63 percent of those surveyed said that they thought IoT devices had better security than most non-IoT devices.<\/p>\n

Jennifer Steffens<\/a>, chief executive officer for IOActive, said that<\/a> \u201cconsensus is that more needs to be done to improve the security of all products, but the exponential rate at which IoT products are coming to market, compounded by the expansive risk network created by their often open connectivity, makes IoT security a particular concern and priority. Companies often rush development to get products to market in order to gain competitive edge, and then try to engineer security in after the fact. This ultimately drives up costs and creates more risk than including security at the start of the development lifecycle.”<\/p>\n
