Shaping the IoT future
across all market sectors
Our World of IoT Sector Map, first introduced in 2008, has been translated into many languages worldwide as a reference document. Now updated for the market today, it shows the 9 key business sectors where IoT applications abound, the application groups and application types within those sectors, and the devices – or ‘Things’ – typically connected at the network edge through which IoT services are offered to the market.
The question is no longer if security is needed, but how to maximise its value – and avoid potentially swinging government penalties.
A strong IoT security strategy ensures resilience, customer trust and sustained profitability, yet many businesses are unsure where to start.
IoT security is more than compliance – it’s a competitive advantage. Stay ahead of evolving threats while driving business growth.
In today’s logistics landscape, visibility isn’t just an advantage – it’s essential.
Rising cargo theft, growing customer demands and strict compliance regulations are pressing challenges for businesses. Without an effective track-and-trace strategy, companies face lost revenue, inefficiencies and reputational risks.
This analyst-driven report, created with industry leaders G+D, highlights how these challenges are being tackled in practice.
