IoT devices make life and business smarter, but they also introduce security risks if not properly protected. Here’s how you can keep your connected devices safe.
- Use Strong Passwords & Authentication:Avoid default credentials and enable multi-factor authentication where possible.
- Encrypt Data:Ensure all data transmitted between devices and servers is encrypted.
- Network Segmentation:Keep IoT devices on a separate network from critical business systems.
- Regular Updates:Apply firmware and software updates promptly to patch vulnerabilities.
- Private APNs & IMEI Locking:For cellular IoT, use private APNs and lock devices to specific SIMs for added security.
- Monitor & Alert:Use centralised platforms to track device behaviour and set alerts for unusual activity.
