A revolution is underway that has the potential to be
staggeringly transformational and, at the same time,
highly disruptive—the Internet of Things (IoT) trend. IoT
(also referred to as “Internet of Everything”) devices have
embedded network, computing and other information
processing capabilities, which allow these devices to be
interconnected. The number and types of devices that are
being manufactured with these built-in IoT features are
increasing rapidly. It is imperative that assurance, security
and governance professionals take notice of the IoT trend
because it has the potential to redefine the risk equation
within many enterprises.
