How To Ensure Data Protection for Products in the Internet of Things (IoT)The Growing Demand for Data Security in IoT Products

More and more products are being equipped with an Internet connection. From smart TVs and digital assistants, to fitness trackers and networked household appliances, every aspect of our lives is progressively being integrated into the Internet of Things (IoT).

But with greater interconnectedness comes greater risk. Lawmakers have enacted new tougher regulations such as the European General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) to demand greater security and privacy protection.
