>"Don't roll your own security" has been the marching drum of an entire sector of IoT companies

And now it gradually translates into "don't own your devices, cause you can't handle security", both for users and small and medium size vendors.

And the meaning of "device" is gradually translating to "any stuff we wear or use". Welcome to the shiny IoT future.




I hear this frustration a lot - mostly related to wearables and internet of shit, right?

We shifted from consumer IoT devices because there's just no money there. Toy Mail is one of our only customers that made it work.

In my mind, the places to look for Iot solutions are generally the same places you need a hardhat and steel toe boots to enter.
