Introduction Smart cities, connected worlds and a sea of data. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a game changer, with the interconnection of computing devices enabling new possibilities in automation and the management of resources. From cities where electronic devices are used to monitor consumption, reduce costs and interface between citizens and government, to stores that send notifications to restock when low on a product, the applications of IoT are immense.

Gartner estimates by 2020 there will be 26 billion devices connected to the internet. For organisations, the IoT poses new risks in data governance and cyber security.
