The DigiCert 2024 State of Digital Trust Report examined four specific digital trust areas, one of them being IoT & Connected Devices. Survey participants represented companies that manufactured and sold IoT devices or connected devices to customers.
93% of those surveyed had experienced data breaches. Many of these occurred because the device provided an easy back door to the network. And 84% had experienced break-ins by bad actors.
The survey has shown that companies are good at managing security settings and can somewhat monitor security events, but they are poor at updating devices.
