3. What is the Internet of Things?
The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to physical devices that are connected to each other or cloud services via the Internet.

4. What Things? In the home: Mobile:
Entertainment systems (television, game console)
Heating/cooling (thermostats, fan, smoke alarm)
Home security (alarms, locks, baby monitor)
Appliances (refrigerator, coffee maker, oven)
Mobile:
Wearables (fitness tracker, Healthcare devices)
Pet tracking collars
Smart cars
Because of the automatic nature of the IoT, smart devices have many advantages. Coffee starts brewing when your alarm goes off in the morning. Your child forgets their keys, but you can unlock the door from work. You can remotely monitor your home and your family to keep them and your belongings safe. You can streamline your home's functions to make things run more efficiently. The IoT can change how you organize and schedule, and adding convenience and connection.
smoke detectors
plant watering
Garage door openers – grant access to different people

5. What Things? Industrial: Factory automation Heavy machinery
Transportation (buses, trains, airplanes)
Healthcare (ambulances, hospital equipment)
Helmet concussion sensor
Medical alert watch

6. What Do These Things Do?
Devices collect and transmit information gathered from their surroundings using embedded sensors and software
Devices communicate with one another, with smart phones, or with a cloud service
Door lock communicates with lights
Heart monitor paired with a smart watch
Pet tracker connects to cloud service (access via phone app or web)
Devices may communicate directly with other devices (require
Devices may communicate with a cloud host
Devices may communicate with a central controlling device/app

7. What Could Go Wrong? Personal data could be accessed
Health data from health devices
Images from web cameras/baby monitors
Malicious people could use devices to harass or cause injury
Turn lights on/off
Activate car brakes
Hackers could use your devices to attack your other devices/computers as well as other web sites or services
Most devices require an Internet connection to access remotely and can not be accessed if connection is lost
Automatic flow of information between IoT devices creates new security risks. For example, a thermostat connected to your home network that is not properly secured could be a gateway to your identity, money, your address and other devices.
If you can access all your data remotely, a cybercriminal might be able to as well.
Not only is a breach of information a risk, but also someone taking control of a device and its functions. For example, someone hacking your smart lock system may not steal information, but they may be able to unlock the doors and steal your belongings.
If you use a single application to control all devices, all are at risk if the application is hacked or if cloud host is hacked.

8. What You Can Do Change default user names and passwords on all devices
Update operating systems and software on all devices
Separate your IoT devices from your main network
Many new routers allow a guest network
Configure security, if available, to limit who can use and what access
Turn off cameras and microphones when not being used
Review device options to limit information is sent to the cloud
Review devices for protocols and management applications to standardize before purchasing and installing
Many devices send information to vendor’s cloud to allow you to control them. Extra information may be sent without your knowledge
If using multiple networks (default & guest), determine which network to use for each device depending on requirements
