It's going to come with the cost of your data and your privacy.

Have you ever wondered if your smart TV might be sending data to someone who shouldn't be looking at it?

What if your kid's smart teddy bear is secretly recording them?

And you're not being paranoid.

Despite how safe they might actually seem on the surface,

a huge percentage of IoT, the Internet of Thing devices,

are actually at risk for attack.

There was a security report from a company, Palo Alto Networks.

They say that about 57% of all IoT devices are vulnerable to cyber attacks, of a medium to high severity. Okay, that's

pretty bad. Nobody tells you that when you're buying a smart light bulb. An IoT tech isn't limited to

just devices and gadgets anymore. It's now showing up in our medical devices. Yeah, a pacemaker.

How much security does that really have?

An IoT is going everywhere. About 35% of all new toys now are internet connected,

about 30% of new cars, and almost 50% of kitchen appliances are now connected to the internet.

Who would have ever thought? When you consider the numbers,

the sheer amount of opportunities for a tech just can't be ignored anymore. Even if your network

is filled to the brim with security software and protection, this fragmented nature that there's no

real security standard for the internet of things makes finding this one-size-fits-all approach much harder.

So instead of blanket protection for your entire network, the smart thing is to focus on all

of your internet-connected devices individually, and you want to make sure that each one is
