Internet of Things needs to be encrypted to offer proper security

All data sent via the Internet of Things (IoT) needs to be secured with encryption, according to the findings of recent INQUIRER research.

The research, carried out in conjunction with Intel, revealed that 44 percent of INQUIRER readers believe that data encryption is the best way to ensure the IoT is secure. 23 percent would prefer to see users being given full control over their own data, while 10 percent believe the best IoT security option is to not store any usage data at all.
