Security – The integrity of data , which includes captured information and resultant recommendations is critical to ensuring that users trust IoT devices and their associated feedback . Security exists at many levels for IoT , including connectivity , storage , data and device integrity .
Security
Privacy
Recommendations
Figure 2 : IoT Functional Architecture - IoT must prioritize users ’ recommendation quality , privacy , and security . This is done most effectively using a layered approach to ensure user experience and protection .
Accelerating the Internet of Things
Emerging and maturing technologies will enhance our ability to build and scale even more robust IoT solutions . These include analytics @ the edge , which operates closer to the consumer , as well as serverless computing and machine learning , which are both built up on IoT platforms ( Figure 3 ).
Analytics @ the Edge
Analytics @ the edge promises to enable faster decision-making by ensuring data does not need to move over slow or unreliable connections before a user response is provided . This is accomplished by embedding analytical capability into devices and edge components . IoT providers can then minimize the risk that the movement of data increases and better manage the cost of connectivity .
