How AI Is Taking IoT Security to the Next Level
TechRadar, Friday, July 10th, 2026
AI-driven automation and analytics are reshaping IoT security by speeding threat detection and cutting manual costs.
IoT devices were the most frequently attacked category in 2024, being especially vulnerable because they are often unmanned, sit outside corporate security perimeters, and remain deployed for long periods in remote locations.
Many carry high-value sensitive data across sectors like energy, transport, utilities, and retail.
AI improves the speed, efficiency, and depth of threat response while helping enterprises manage costs by reducing labor-intensive manual tasks.
Solutions that detect, analyze, and automatically address anomalous activity reduce the risk of attack-related outages and costly on-site device visits. AI is positioned to shape the next phase of IoT security.
