According to IoT analytics, the current business sentiment for companies in digital and IoT remains predominantly positive. There is widespread acknowledgement that Covid-19 had an overall positive effect on the accelerated adoption of IoT technologies. 

IoT Analytics also reports record levels of VC investments for IoT firms, including acquisitions in the areas of AI and analytics. It is anticipated that despite headwinds like rising inflation and prolonged supply chain disruptions, overall sentiment will continue to be positive as the number of connected IoT devices reach 14.4 billion by the end of 2022.

With this growth, we can expect more targeted and perhaps creative ways of attacking both producers and enterprise-consumers of IoT devices in the years ahead.

To give us an update on the state of security for IoT devices in Asia, we are joined by Satyajit Sinha, principal analyst for IoT Analytics to talk about securing IoT.

Satyajit, welcome to PodChats for FutureIoT. 

1. Give us a state of the security of IoT devices in the context of Asia?

2. How adequately do you think current IoT ecosystems are secured, especially for unmanaged IoT devices?

3. Are concerns around IoT security justified? Or Why does the IoT ecosystem require security?

4.  What is the strategy that will secure IoT?

5.  What are the challenges or roadblocks to securing IoT end-to-end?

6.  What are the key differences between traditional IT security and IoT Security?

7. How much is post-quantum security relevant for now?
