🛡️ Why IoT Security Matters
- Most IoT devices were built for convenience, not security.
- They often bypass traditional endpoint or network protections.
- IoT compromises can serve as a launchpad for lateral movement and ransomware.
- Regulatory attention is rising—NIST, ENISA, and others are defining new standards.
Whether you’re in critical infrastructure, healthcare, or smart home integration, securing your devices means protecting your users, your data, and your reputation.
