Understanding of IoT security among enterprises is on the rise. A higher proportion of enterprises rate security as a key purchasing factor in 2020 compared to 2018. This increase in understanding also occurs at a time when enterprises are aiming to adopt a security-first approach as their USP. However, they are only at the start of this journey. When choosing vendors, they rely on who and what they know, and are not fully aware of the trade-offs needed to make an IoT solution secure.

Together with Pelion, we examine enterprise attitudes to IoT security, as uncovered by the GSMA Intelligence Enterprise in Focus Survey. We focus on what enterprises currently perceive as important security features in IoT solutions, who they trust to deliver such features, and how eSIM is able to address IoT security challenges.
