A new technological revolution is coming: in the coming months and years all devices will become “smart” and synchronized with the network. But the Internet of things opens new opportunities for cybercriminals. The growth rate of IoT security issues is expected to significantly accelerate in 2017. By the end of the decade synchronizing with the network will become commonplace, and smart devices will fill the shelves of stores by 2020. The result will be an increased demand for new forms of cybersecurity.

The security market for the Internet of Things (IoT) will reach $37 billion by 2021, according to the analysts at MarketsandMarkets.com.

It is expected that by this time more than 50 billion devices will be connected to the network. All this opens great prospects not only for business and end users.
