Of the millions of enterprise-IoT<\/a> transactions examined in a recent study, the vast majority were sent without benefit of encryption, leaving the data vulnerable to theft and tampering.<\/p>\n

The research by cloud-based security provider Zscaler found that about 91.5 percent of transactions by internet of things devices took place over plaintext, while 8.5 percent were encrypted with SSL<\/a>. That means if attackers could intercept the unencrypted traffic, they\u2019d be able to read it and possibly alter it, then deliver it as if it had not been changed.<\/p>\n
