Description: IoT security metrics are specific measures used to assess the security posture of IoT devices and networks. These metrics enable organizations to identify vulnerabilities, evaluate the effectiveness of implemented security measures, and ensure that connected devices operate within a secure framework. Metrics can include aspects such as the rate of security incidents, response time to threats, the number of compromised devices, and the effectiveness of firmware updates. By establishing a clear set of metrics, companies can continuously monitor their IoT infrastructure, ensuring the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of data. The importance of these metrics lies in the growing number of IoT devices in the market, which, if not properly managed, can become entry points for cyberattacks. Therefore, IoT security metrics are fundamental for risk management and the implementation of proactive security strategies in an increasingly interconnected environment.
