With objects talking to each other, transmitting information about where they are and what's happening to them, the opportunity for criminals to intercept and steal data is expanding exponentially. With the rapid evolution of the Internet of Things, every time a new application is born, there is potential for exploitation by the unscrupulous. Data security needs to be as important as the application that uses that data.
