🔒 What is IoT Security?
IoT (Internet of Things) security refers to the practices and technologies used to protect interconnected devices from cyber threats. As smart devices become more prevalent in homes and industries, ensuring their safety is critical to prevent data breaches, unauthorized access, and system vulnerabilities.

Key Threats to IoT Devices

  • Weak Default Passwords 🚫
    Many devices come with default credentials that are easy to guess.
