The IoT market is experiencing explosive growth, but most devices lack adequate cybersecurity protections. By 2030, over 29 billion IoT devices will be connected, significantly increasing the attack surface for cybercriminals. Alone in 2023, IoT cyberattacks surged by 400%, highlighting the urgent need for independent security testing.
