There are currently more objects connected to the Internet than there are people
in the world [1]. This gap will continue to grow, as more objects gain the ability
to directly interface with the Internet or become physical representations of data
accessible via Internet systems. This trend toward greater object interaction in the
Internet is collectively described as the Internet of Things (IoT). As with previous
global technology trends, such as widespread mobile adoption and datacentre
consolidation, the changing information landscape associated with the Internet of
Things represents considerable change to the attack surface and threat environment
of the Internet and Internet-connected systems.
