Re: IOT 2017 Security
I was just going to make a similar comment. It takes a certain level of hubris to maintain that security won't be an issue, especially with the breadth of security breaches we've seen with existing, more traditional technology in the past few months alone.

Vodafone IoT 2017
I agree with Morawski that companies need to know how to leverage IoT.

Anyone can be an adopter but learning how to leverage IoT makes a company an industry leader.

IOT 2017 Security
It is comical that companies surveyed say they already have the skills needed to address IoT security when no one company has a handle on IoT so how can you already have skills need to address IoT security.

In addition, companies have not done a great job with implementing security measures without IoT.

Re: IOT 2017
@afwriter, I totally agree. They don't have the skills and are too over confident in a field that is still new.

Re: IOT 2017
@vnewman, I agree. They are exaggerating. IoT is such a new technology and there are only handful who have experience or education in the field. Many companies use IoT but don't have the expertise in-house to use it effectively and don't have the knowledge or budget to hire someone who does.

Re: IOT 2017
@Ariella, I agree, it is still perceived as a new technology but will become commonplace like smartphones.

Re: IOT 2017
Interesting read. I think we're entering a time when the dynamics are changing for IoT. Instead of thinking about what IoT can offer businesses, at some point we're going to witness reasons why IoT wouldn't be useful. I would argue that there are so many use cases that we'll start identifying what's not IoT-compatible.

Re: IOT 2017
@Ariella, I kind of agree with @vnewman here.  I feel like they are saying what other's want to hear, but we are dealing with a technology that is still evolving which makes it nearly impossible to this confident. 

I see your point as well and they may genuinely think that they have the skills needed, but Apollo Creed also thought that he could beat Ivan Drago. You are right that every company should have been on top of this for a while now, unfortunately egos can sometimes get in the way of what is best for the company. 

The good news is that IoT is becomming common place enough that companies are going to have no choice but to embrace it moving forward.

Re: IOT 2017
@vnewman interesting observation. I'd have that reaction if it was above 75%, for 60% it just could be possible that they do. They're not promising they are completely hack-proof, only saying that they have the ability to manage the risk, and really every company should have been working on this for a while.

Re: IOT 2017
@Ariella - I think people will let their guard down to an extent and start to embrace it like you say, as just another piece of the technology puzzle.  What surprises me is this number: "60% say they already have the necessary skills, processes and technology to manage IoT security."  I think that's a little bit overconfident when sailing into unchartered waters.
