The research examined the issue of cybersecurity in the connected home from
the perspective of consumers, vendors and service providers, industry
associations, and think tanks. It referenced an existing body of literature in
the public domain that pertains to this issue to corroborate findings obtained
through consumer and industry research processes.
Connected homes are a fast-growing market segment, driven by ubiquitous
connectivity, smart mobility, and the Internet of Things (IoT). However, the
emphasis on connectivity and convenience to enrich consumer lifestyle
experiences has exposed the connected home environment to the increasing
incidence of cyber threats. This research confirms growing consumer concerns
about connectedness and the critical need for industry participants to counter
skepticism with an actionable strategy combining secure solution development and
deployment practices, organizational and industry led best practices, and, more
importantly, an ongoing plan for mitigating cyber threats for their businesses
and end customers.
Frost & Sullivan is pleased to co-host this session with CEDIA for its
membership, and hopes this report and its findings will drive attention to this
key industry challenge and encourage effective dialogue among industry
participants for creating awareness and exploring collective initiatives for
addressing cybersecurity.
The presentation slides and an executive summary of the research are
included with this archived webinar.
