To round out your skills in IoT security, you'll protect and dispose of sensitive data when appropriate. You'll also manage risks related to software installations, patches, and operating systems. Lastly, you'll protect local memory and storage, and prevent physical port access.

As an Internet of Things (IoT) Security Practitioner, you should be concerned about data privacy not only from the perspective of protecting users, but also protecting the organizations that you represent. Violations of data privacy can have consequences affecting customers, can harm the organization's reputation, and can put intellectual property or trade secrets at risk. And failure to protect data properly may also have legal consequences to the organizations entrusted with that data.

You've protected the security of your IoT systems through careful design and configuration of your networks, development or selection of secure software, attention to updates and patches, application of secure authentication and authorization, monitoring, and numerous other considerations. However, when an attacker gains physical access to devices, many of your protections are rendered moot.
