IT professionals outline a few key steps MSPs should take when setting up IoT security. First, it’s important that MSPs have a plan in the event that there is a breach involving the devices. Conducting a device audit is also a key step in a security plan so that all IoT devices are accounted for and secured. Up to date device credentials and segmented networks are also crucial to securing a company’s IoT devices.
