The Future of Connected Devices
Without a doubt connected devices have become part of our lives and will only continue to proliferate in the future. To illustrate, note these predictions:
63 million American homes will qualify as “Smart Homes” by 2022. This includes internet-connected devices such as: thermostats, lightbulbs, security systems, appliances, and the like. –BergInsight
The number of connected devices will increase to 125 billion by 2030, meaning every consumer will own around 15 connected devices. – MTA
70% of light-duty vehicles and trucks will be connected to the internet by 2023. – Statista
5G will reach 45% of the world’s population by the end of 2024. Enabling instantaneous connectivity for billions of devices. – Ericsson
By 2023, an emerging digital infrastructure ecosystem will be the underlying platform for all IT and business automation initiatives anywhere and everywhere. – IDC
As these devices are installed our behaviors will evolve and so will those of the cyber criminals. As we become more dependent on these inter-connected devices, the type and amount of data we will be producing will unimaginable. It will continue to push against the margins of privacy and security. Starting now, we must, more than ever #becybersmart. This means that we need to think about which devices we are connecting and how we are using those devices. It means that we all play a part in our privacy and our security. We have to actively participate in building a culture that is aware and purposeful about how we build and use the technology of tomorrow. Security starts today.
