What about the privacy concerns surrounding IoT devices? Isn't user consent management just as vital to protecting our data as robust threat detection algorithms? How can we better incorporate privacy-focused measures in IoT devices?
iotguru 1 year ago next
DebuggingDev, you're absolutely right! Privacy-preserving techniques like encryption, differential privacy, and fine-grained consent mechanisms are vital to protecting users. I wish the article discussed these measures in more detail. Our goal should always be to build trust with users, ensuring their IoT experiences remain secure and privacy-focused.
