IoT Vulnerabilities: Securing Connected Devices from Cyber Threats

IoT vulnerabilities expose smart devices to hacking, data breaches, and unauthorized access, making them prime targets for cybercriminals. Weak authentication, outdated firmware, and unsecured networks can lead to botnet attacks, data leaks, and system manipulation.

To mitigate risks, businesses and individuals should implement strong encryption, multi-factor authentication (MFA), regular firmware updates, and network segmentation. Continuous monitoring and strict access controls help secure IoT ecosystems from cyber threats.
