Internet of things (IoT) vulnerabilities
IoT device capabilities stand to
grow considerably from 5G enhancements.
Currently, these devices are used to
control a wide range of functions
and processes, from traffic signals
to factory machinery.
Increased performance enables IoT
devices to be used with more advanced
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
and can provide higher volumes of
sensor data.
Unfortunately, this creates opportunities
for malicious impacts
that were previously impossible.
IoT devices are already frequent
victims of attack, such as the 2017
WannaCry ransomware.
