IoT

IoT, or the Internet of Things, is a network of everyday devices that can connect to your home or work network and communicate with each other. These “smart” devices, like thermostats, lights, refrigerators, or even watches, use sensors and software to share information and work together to make life more convenient and efficient.

However, because they are connected to your network, IoT devices can create security risks if they are not properly protected. A weakly secured device could allow hackers access to your other devices or personal information.

Think of IoT as a way to turn regular gadgets into a team of helpful assistants. They can “talk” to each other to adjust your home’s temperature, remind you of appointments, or even track your health, all without you needing to do much—but it’s important to secure your network and devices to keep everything safe.
