Imagine the possibility of being able to control the temperature of your home and the settings of laundry devices remotely. The tremendous growth rate in computing and networking resources has opened avenues for a whole range of devices to be connected to the Internet. The article you read “The Internet of Things: A Reality Check (Links to an external site.)” [PDF, File Size 140.8KB] talked about the possibilities of not only computers being connected to the Internet but a whole range of other appliances ranging from door knobs to dishwashers being connected to the Internet. In addition to the security threats present to computers, these versatile devices open doors to a whole new range of physical security threats. Discuss some of the other physical security threats that these technologies might introduce. Do you think that these devices present more of an enhancement or complication to physical securities? Does a point of too much complexity exist? Why or why not? Please explain. In response to your classmates, use the article or any other research findings to either support or oppose their argument. Include suggestions to support and justify your claims. Be sure to properly cite your work using APA guidelines.
