IoT Explained: Benefits, Applications, and Emerging Trends

resources

cyberglossary

The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the network of physical objects that are connected to the internet using software, sensors, and other technologies. This enables these "smart" devices to collect and exchange data, facilitating communication and automation. IoT extends beyond computers and smartphones to encompass everyday objects like appliances, vehicles, and even clothing. This interconnectedness allows for remote monitoring, control, and analysis, driving efficiency, convenience, and innovation across various sectors, from smart homes and healthcare to manufacturing and transportation.

The Internet of Things (IoT) has applications across a wide range of areas, including smart homes, wearable technology, industrial automation, connected vehicles, and smart cities, all contributing to a more connected world.

What are IoT applications?

Industrial IoT (IIoT) specifically applies IoT technology to industrial settings, such as factories and manufacturing plants. It connects machines, sensors, and other equipment to collect data, analyze performance, and improve processes like production, maintenance, and supply chain management.

What is industrial IoT (IIoT)?

IoT offers numerous benefits for businesses, including increased efficiency through automation and optimized operations, improved decision-making based on real-time data insights, cost savings through reduced waste and downtime, and new revenue streams by creating innovative products and services.

What are the benefits of IoT for businesses?

IoT will be a driving force in the future of technology, impacting areas like artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, and data analytics. It will contribute to the development of smarter cities, autonomous systems, personalized healthcare, and more efficient resource management.

How will IoT impact the future of technology?

Security is a major concern with IoT. Many IoT devices have weak security protocols, making them vulnerable to cyberattacks. This can lead to data breaches, unauthorized access, and even disruption of critical infrastructure. Robust security measures are crucial for mitigating these risks.

What are the security concerns related to IoT?

Founded in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2000, Fortinet continues to be a driving force in the evolution of cybersecurity and the convergence of networking and security.
