The protections from the security software must continue when the device is taken off the network, such as when it is off-grid, or in airplane mode, and similar. Still, much of the time, software writers can expect the device to be online and connected, not only to a local network but to the World Wide Web, as well. Web traffic, as we have seen, has its own peculiar set of security challenges. What are the challenges for an always connected, but highly personalized device? Challenges Faced by an Internet Connected Device

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a group of devices that can be connected to the Internet, allowing them to send and receive data between each other (Berte, 2018). Gartner Inc. research predicts that the number of connected devices will grow from 8.4 billion in 2017 to more than 20 billion in 2020 as the Internet of Things (IoT) makes life easier. The myriad of different devices available expose sensitive data and the information it contains to security attacks and threats (Conti, Dehghantanha, Franke & Watson, 2018). The root of security problems in devices can be traced to a lack of standardization in the security protections provided by manufacturers and software authors.
