Covid-19 Analysis

Since the lockdown and the closure of all production businesses, the fundamental components of IoT security are numerous sensors, without which the system cannot be installed. Furthermore, the sensors are made in many locations worldwide, making it impossible to export and import due to stringent lockdown measures implemented by governments worldwide, making raw material procurement extremely complex. Any system cannot come to life on its own without the whole set of raw materials, and system integration and system mating with software is impossible. As a result, the IoT security market's expansion has halted. Communication is critical amid the COVID-19 issue all around the world.

Every individual and government has been in continual contact to provide and receive real-time information on COVID-19, regardless of federal, state, central, municipal, or provincial levels. Healthcare, telecommunications, media and entertainment, utilities, and government agencies are working around the clock to stabilize the situation and provide essential services to everyone. Remote working, increasing video streaming, and worldwide internet connections have swiftly become essential components of modern civilization.

IoT Security Market Dynamics

  GROWING NEED FOR IOT SECURITY

  
  

The surge in internet penetration worldwide and progress in the speed of the internet have made technologies such as IoT evolve at a very quick pace. With the fulfilment of essential IoT criteria, namely, progress in speed, it is being employed in various technical applications and issue solving without the intervention of people. IoT is utilized in engineering applications and in the day-to-day operations of modern living, automating them. It saves a lot of time and is reliable, making it a convenient option. Everyday tasks like automating home lighting can be automated and controlled via IoT, but because IoT devices are controlled via the network, they are vulnerable to security attacks because they are a combination of various technologies like communication technology, information technology, electronic sensors, and actuator technology.

As a result, any form of security attack is feasible, and the IoT-enabled equipment can also be controlled, necessitating the need for IoT security. Blockchain technology is one of the most important answers for IoT security concerns. Blockchain technology is used to track sensor data and prevent it from being duplicated with other harmful data. Instead, than relying on a third party to establish trust, sensors can communicate data via blockchain.

  SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN NEW VARIANTS OF IOT THREATS AND LACK OF AWARENESS

  
  

IoT devices are becoming more common in people's lives, and the ability of new botnets to infect, attack, and cause havoc is growing rapidly. As the corporate environment changes, so do the security requirements. People, on the other hand, are unaware of device vulnerabilities and the possibility of being hacked. Organizations fail to grasp internal threat risks, such as how employees are just a click away from downloading potential malware, undetected viruses, and threat activities such as spear-phishing and botnet. Security suppliers are creating novel and tailored products for a wide range of users, including individuals, SMEs, major organizations, and government agencies. The lack of awareness about security that is associated with the respective business portfolio is impeding the growth of the IoT security industry. Most clients, particularly those in Latin America and the Middle East, are unaware and hence unable to take advantage of the security goods and services available in the market that meet their needs.

  DEVELOPMENT OF SMART INFRASTRUCTURE

  
  

Smart cities and smart buildings are conceptual models that are intended to supply a set of cutting-edge services and infrastructure. A smart city is one that uses its ICT infrastructure to improve the quality of life and increase the efficiency of urban operations and services. Smart cities adhere to the following components: smart transportation, smart buildings, smart utilities, and smart citizen services. As a result, the effective implementation of smart city initiatives is strongly reliant on technology such as data communications, cloud computing, mobility, and sensors, which comprise IoT. With the rise of IoT devices in the smart city ecosystem, securing these devices has grown more difficult. As a result, the vulnerabilities of IoT devices and networks, as well as their growing significance in daily activities, make IoT security critical. The need to safeguard IoT ecosystems is gaining traction, which is creating lucrative prospects for devoted and knowledgeable IoT security solution providers.
