Abstrakt: Key Points
  • The Internet of Things (IoT) creates new security risks that device manufacturers and application developers have not anticipated.
  • The devices that have become part of the IoT enable the storage, analysis, monitoring, and sharing of vast quantities of data with other networked devices and users.
  • Users' privacy is threatened because of their limited control and choice over the collection, retention, and distribution of their data.
  • The risk of an inadequate legal framework regulating the IoT requires urgent action in legal analysis and may require new approaches in legislation.
