Thought you might be interested in an article Where Will the Internet of Things Take Businesses In 2017? and thought I’d share a few points with you here. I’ve found some relevant information here so if I find more, I’ll be sure to pass it on.
Security will continue to dominate conversations
It’s no secret that security breaches this year dominated many IoT conversations. While the most recent security stories focused on older IoT devices like routers and DVRs, it was definitely enough to get the whole industry talking.
While these conversations weren’t enough to shake consumer confidence or affect business decisions to offer connected products, it certainly pushed security up to the top of the priority list.
In 2017, these security concerns will push standards forward and regulations may increasingly pertain to privacy and data sharing. There will also be security solutions introduced specifically for the IoT.
IoT brings with it a whole new set of security challenges and security needs to be purpose-built for it (i.e. you can’t just retrofit current security solutions). This is a big opportunity for competitive differentiation for platform vendors, as well as an opportunity for the entire security industry.

8 年No doubt security is going to be the main discussion in the future. I have just found that Australia is the number one in the world for cyber security incidents. According to this "funny" source https://www.informationisbeautiful.net/visualizations/because-every-country-is-the-best-at-something/

8 年I think it will create more confusion, broader protectionism as fear engulfs the inability to change and meet the market. The creation of more things over not enough understanding of what all those things can do will increase complexity and challenge leadership whilst also colliding with more diversity in the workforce than most can cater to, and maybe more than the leadership bandwidth can cater to. Matthew, no doubt an interesting time, one not to sit idle and recruit from the same gene pool to meet these fast approaching transitions. Security issues I see will also raise pressure on boards to meet their governance, address risk through leadership and truly landing change, which historically falls short. Just a view..
