Ian Gertler, Founder and CMO of Symplegades joins Cheddar to talk about his predictions for the IoT industry in 2018. The question is: will advances in the technology be directed towards citizens and customers, or will they be more company-specific?
He believes we'll see a lot of IoT developments within smart cities, manufacturing, and retail. In the retail sector specifically, using IoT isn't a new thing, but he wants companies to have access to more real-time data.
When it comes to IoT security, he says companies need to make cybersecurity the foundation of whatever they're creating. It can't be an afterthought, because whatever information is out there, hackers will try to steal.
Meta is warning that cybercriminals are tricking people into downloading programs that can steal valuable information on fake ChatGPT offers. Cheddar News explains how Meta has observed hundreds of malicious links on its platform.
Authorities in the U.S. and Europe arrested nearly 300 people, confiscated over $53 million, and seized a dark web marketplace as part of an international crackdown on drug trafficking that officials say was the largest operation of its kind.
