IDC's Worldwide Internet of Things Security Products Taxonomy, 2022

This IDC study presents IDC's taxonomy for IoT security products. It provides definitions and a detailed framework of security solutions in four technology category markets. This taxonomy forms the foundation for IDC's coverage and analysis of security for the internet of things and intelligent edge products. "With the proliferation of IoT projects, the attack surface has grown to billions of connected devices. IT departments have the onerous task of defending this surface and must be able to stop cyberattacks 100% of the time. Bad actors, however, only need to succeed once. It is imperative that all IoT devices be secured through all stages of their useful lives from design, manufacturing and programming to deployment, and finally retirement." — Ed Lee, research director, IoT and Intelligence Edge Security, IDC
