An IoT gateway is an important part of the IoT ecosystem. It allows connected devices to share data. It acts as a layer between the internet and the devices. The security provided by an IoT gateway is invaluable and helps companies secure their investment in the IoT. It also provides extra security for IoT devices. These devices are usually connected to a wireless network and need to be protected against hacking and other threats. An IoT gateway is similar to a network router, routing data to and from connected IoT devices. However, it also serves as a gateway for data from cloud-connected devices. Early gateway devices only sent traffic from the IoT devices to the cloud, but newer gateways support both inbound and outbound traffic streams. Outbound traffic streams are used to send IoT data to the cloud, while inbound traffic streams are used for device management tasks. Despite the power of an IoT gateway , security is still a concern. The reason is simple: it is the point of entry fo...
