The Internet of Things is a system of interconnected computing devices, objects, people, animals, and mechanical or digital machines. These entities receive unique identifiers (UIDs) and the ability to transmit data over a network without involving human-to-computer or human-to-human interaction. IoT security refers to the measures put in place to safeguard these cloud-protected services against cybersecurity threats. It is necessary to protect data as it transfers from IoT devices to the cloud location to minimize the threat of hackers compromising user accounts.
