Smart Devices

The future is starting to take shape as the concept of the Internet of Everything (IoE) is applied to everything from smart home appliances to connected wearables. And it doesn't look like a fad that's going to pass.

CES 2015 featured a Personal Privacy & Cyber Security Marketplace where security-oriented products were put on display. We looked at the devices covered in CES 2015 and spotted these technologies that focused on better privacy and data security.

While new technologies are always interesting, they also have the potential to burn consumers and vendors with privacy and security risks. With this in mind, here are four trends from CES 2015 that could potentially impact your security and privacy.

As more smart devices come into the spotlight, people around you are going to want to know more about the IoE. Here’s an easy way to explain the concept of the Internet of Everything.

If you can access the Internet, bad guys on the Internet can access you. With the increasing popularity of Internet-connected appliances, consider the potential security risks you open your home up to.
