International Standards ensure that products and services are safe, reliable and of good quality. For

They help companies to access new markets, level the playing
field for developing countries and facilitate free and fair global trade.
Suppose a criminal were using your nanny cam to keep an eye on your house. Or your refrigerator sent out spam e-mails on your behalf to people you don't even know. Now imagine someone hacked into your toaster and got access to your entire network. As smart products proliferate with the Internet of Things, so do the risks of attack via this new connectivity. ISO standards can help make this emerging industry safer.
The Internet of Things (IoT) has the power to change our world. And while we are starting to see its incredible impact, we are still very much at the beginning of the transformational journey. Here's a look into the current state of affairs in the race to standardize IoT, along with what people are saying about it.
The Internet of Things is already changing lives today. Businesses are responding to the new promises offered and the challenges raised. Standards, meanwhile, help resolve some of the related complexities.
These are exciting
times for the Internet of Things (IoT)! Just imagine that in a few short years IoT technology will be
connected to nearly 50 billion “things” of one kind or another. The exponentially growing number of
objects connected to the Internet is completely changing our world. What new changes will appear? Which
standards need to be developed? How many businesses will benefit?
Aptly entitled
“Our connected future”, this issue covers the most pervasive and ubiquitous IoT advances, trends and
opinions. Find out more in the latest issue of ISOfocus.
