Commenting on the report

Knud Lasse Lueth, Managing Director at IoT Analytics, said:

“Unfortunately lack of security is still a major concern for many people and enterprises that look to adopt IoT technology. Recent DDoS and ransomware attacks have made some technology users even more cautious than they already were. Therefore, IoT Security is one of the key topics any organization will have to master in the coming years in order to comfortably roll-out their IoT-based solutions. However, developing IoT solutions that are secure from device to cloud and everything in between, is extremely complex. Just one weak link can be taken advantage of by attackers to access the network. Our research addresses this complexity and aims to help firms overcome the challenges of building secure IoT solutions in any industry.”

IoT Security Report – Market Definition

For this market report, IoT security is defined as any element that protects Internet of Things solutions against virtual or physical damage on one or several of the following layers: device, communication, cloud and lifecycle management. For vendor analysis, the report only considers companies that offer independent IoT security products, not those that secure their own IoT platform or IoT solution in-house. To calculate the market size and individual company revenue, the report considers the revenues generated from the sales of security solutions including hardware, software, and services. Services is made up of professional services, consulting, implementation related services and managed services provided by the vendors. One should note, this report only looks at independent IoT security offerings available on the market and does not consider hobby developers/programmers that create their own security solutions.
