IoT (Internet of Things) devices have become integral to modern life, but their security risks cannot be ignored. Here's a concise guide to securing your IoT ecosystem:

Key Security Measures 🛡️

  1. Device Authentication
    Use strong credentials and implement mutual TLS to ensure only authorized devices access your network.
