Be IoT Ready
The Internet of Things (IoT) has arrived. Gartner predicts there will be nearly 5 billion IoT devices in use by the end of 2015 and 25 billion devices by 2020. However, many organizations lack an IoT ready infrastructure to deliver experiences to new connected devices and cloud services. In order to be a successful digital business, organizations must be able to securely manage devices and things and control the relationships that arise with the IoT. As the recent Jeep and Hospira Infusion Pump hacks show, the IoT must be secured with the same level of care as the enterprise.
As you define your IoT strategy, look for identity solutions that offer seamless, personalized and secure user experiences across all devices, connected things and cloud services. This allows organizations to be first to market with new digital offerings and maximize revenue by establishing early customer relationships.
