When it comes to IoT devices, a very particular question needs to be asked, ?Are the security threats of today any different than they were 10, 20, or even 30 years ago??

The most recent hack that will come to people?s minds is the attack on the Ring Doorbell. But, this is a device that was created in 2012. Most wouldn?t think that even more commonly used devices like a wireless computer mouse or keyboard are considered IoT devices; by definition they are.

Embedded World 2020 is right around the corner, and the Insiders spend a few minutes forecasting what they expect to see at the show. Some of the main themes they expect are an increased integration of AI and IoT technologies and smarter edge computing nodes based on those technologies. They then get into a semantic disagreement around what constitutes "the edge" and where AI processing will truly take place.
