IoT presents utilities with myriad security challenges

The proliferation of different devices, networks, platforms and applications to support the Internet of Things (IoT) multiplies the vulnerabilities and potential for malicious attacks to utilities and other entities across various sectors. The only reason there have not yet been serious IoT breaches is because the IoT has not yet been deployed in large-scale consumer or enterprise applications that make them attractive to attackers, according to Beecham Research.
