IoT Security

Overview

IoT Security focuses on protecting interconnected devices and networks in the Internet of Things ecosystem. It addresses vulnerabilities like weak authentication, unencrypted data, and insecure firmware, which can expose entire systems to cyberattacks. As Kuwait rapidly advances its smart technologies and connected infrastructure, the importance of secure IoT solutions cannot be overstated. From smart homes to industrial automation, safeguarding IoT devices in Kuwait is crucial for ensuring both data privacy and operational resilience.
