​

​​​​The Internet of Things (IoT) is a hot topic in today’s world. The rapid mobility and growth of IoT has led to an astonishing number of endpoints that organizations must manage and secure. The global research and advisory firm Gartner predicts that more than 20 billion connected things will be in use by 2020. That is up from 11 billion in 2017. 

Furthermore, G​artner predicts that, through 2020, the biggest inhibitor to further growth will be a lack of prioritization and implementation of security best practices and tools in IoT initiative planning
