As the IoT Advisory Board report states, “Establishing trust in IoT is crucial for widespread adoption and public confidence. Secure, private, and reliable operation of interconnected devices is essential to achieve such trust… Trust is earned and kept when IoT devices and systems remain secure from unauthorized access, data is kept safe and used as intended, algorithms are accurate and explainable, and produced outcomes are safe, consistent, and reliable.” The recommendations across this theme focus on addressing the range of cybersecurity, privacy and supply chain integrity challenges across the IoT ecosystem.
Risk always exist; trust does not always exist. Knowing the difference between "risk scores" and "trust scores" can help you make wise decisions.
