The past decade has seen tremendous gains in technology with web-based systems, powerful hardware, and sophisticated software. The evolution of connected devices as nodes on the Internet of Things has brought limitless possibilities.<\/p>\n<p>As more and more everyday things are being connected to the Internet \u2013 medical devices, automobiles, homes, etc. \u2013 the long-term forecast for the IoT is staggering! It\u2019s estimated that by 2020, there will be 212 billion installed things! As with anything else technology-related, the connectivity of many devices can bring a wide range of serious security and privacy risks.<\/p>\n<p>IoT applications fall into three basic categories:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mobile or desktop applications that control IoT devices<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>IoT firmware and embedded applications<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Applications on open IoT platforms (for example, apps built for Apple Watch)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While devices are getting smarter, so are hackers. Applications can be attacked in many ways. In the case of an IoT solution involving a desktop or mobile app that monitors or controls the device, often all the attacker needs to do is obtain access to the application and tamper with it to do what they want with the device &#8211; leaving sensitive information completely vulnerable.<\/p>\n<p>All of these applications need to be protected or you run the risk of less-than-ideal outcomes such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Improper or unsafe operation of IoT devices<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Theft of confidential data or private user information<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Fraud and unauthorized access to payment processing channels<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Damage to your brand image and deterioration of customer, prospect and partner trust<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With the risk greater than ever, it\u2019s important that all property managers can secure their systems and apps.
