Security and Privacy in IoT

Security and privacy in IoT (Internet of Things) refer to protecting connected devices and the data they collect from unauthorized access or misuse. Security involves safeguarding devices and networks against hacking, malware, and other threats, ensuring they operate safely. Privacy focuses on controlling and protecting personal information gathered by IoT devices, such as location or habits, so that individuals’ data isn't shared or used without permission. Together, security and privacy ensure IoT systems are trustworthy, safe to use, and respect users' rights to control their personal information.
