IoT is advancing the technical lives of millions, with the network of connected devices becoming more populated with each passing year.

As a result, networking issues such as packet loss and jitter can dramatically impact how well IoT devices perform.

Poorly secured IoT devices are a popular target for threat actors and can be used as network entry points or enslaved as part of botnets for later attacks.

SASE can be an effective way of securing a large IoT network as all endpoints will receive the same level of security and network management capabilities.

Outside of issues around specific devices, organizations also need to have a high level of control over how connected devices access the network and what gateways they have access to.

As the number of IoT devices continues to rise exponentially, enterprises will need to ensure their network has the ability to handle the increased traffic and enable all devices to operate at peak performance.
