Work Security Beyond Boundaries with Microsoft Surface
IoT refers to the network of physical objects—devices, vehicles, buildings, and other items—embedded with sensors, software, and other technologies to connect and exchange data with other devices and systems over the internet.
IoT devices collect data using sensors and actuators. This data is then transmitted via the internet to IoT platforms where it is analyzed. Based on the analysis, actions can be automated, or insights can be provided to users for decision-making.
Security: Ensuring the security of connected devices and the data they generate.
Interoperability: Integrating devices from different manufacturers and ensuring they work together seamlessly.
Data Privacy: Protecting the data collected from devices and ensuring compliance with privacy regulations.
Scalability: Managing and maintaining a large number of connected devices and handling the data they produce.
