This episode looks at Indisputable IoT Security Fact #5:

As Data Accumulates, Exposure Issues Will Increase

IoT devices are quietly and constantly collecting massive amounts of personal and sensitive data, from audio recordings to GPS locations to heart rate readings. Indeed, one of the key business drivers for IoT is the data that is generated from devices and solutions.

But if all this data is not managed, secured and eventually destroyed, the results may lead to loss of privacy and serious issues of data ownership — all of which increase the importance of partnering with IoT vendors and solution providers who can be trusted with your data.
