C rise at an alarming rate due to poor security protections and the use of automated tools by cybercriminals to exploit these vulnerabilities , according to the latest Nokia Threat Intelligence Report . The report found that Internetconnected , or IoT , devices now make up roughly 33 % of infected devices , up from about 16 % in 2019 . The report ’ s findings are based on data aggregated from monitoring network traffic on more than 150 million devices globally where Nokia ’ s NetGuard Endpoint Security product is deployed .

Adoption of IoT devices , from smart home security monitoring systems to drones and medical devices , is expected to continue growing as consumers and enterprises move to take advantage of the high bandwidth , ultra-low latency and fundamentally new networking capabilities that 5G mobile networks enable , according to the report . The rate of success in infecting IoT devices depends on the visibility of the devices to the Internet , according to the report . In networks where devices are routinely assigned public facing Internet IP addresses , a high infection rate is seen . In networks where carrier-grade Network Address Translation is used , the infection rate is considerably reduced because the vulnerable devices are not visible to network scanning .
