The Internet of Things is expanding.

The Internet of Things is expanding, and connected cars and industrial plants are just the beginning. The granulate of connected items and  areas is growing finer and finer. Whether smart coffee cups and intelligent ballpoint pens join its ranks any time soon remains to be seen. What can be said for sure, however, is that we have entered a new phase of net-working, and a glance at upcoming trends will show us what awaits us.

M2M security: considerations to address growing concerns

Security continues to be a hot topic in all areas of technology, including machine-to-machine (M2M) applications. Today, most analysts agree that the security risk is relatively low,  primarily because M2M is still a  growing space and hasn’t reached a critical mass that would draw significant attention from hackers. However, M2M is growing very quickly. Cisco estimates that there will be 25 billion connected devices by 2015 and 50  billion by 2020, so security concerns will likely grow in the near future.
