Acronym for Internet of Things—connected devices with sensors and network capability.
IoT stands for Internet of Things. See 'Internet of Things' for the full definition. IoT security is increasingly important as device proliferation expands attack surfaces.
Why It Matters
The DSC Perspective:
IoT devices are everywhere—many with poor security. Inventory IoT in your environment, segment appropriately, and include IoT in security monitoring. Every connected device is a potential entry point.
