The document discusses the Internet of Things (IoT), which refers to a wireless network connecting everyday objects through sensors. As IoT becomes more prevalent in 2014, more devices will be connected and able to communicate data to each other and data centers wirelessly. This will generate huge amounts of data requiring advanced analytics and cloud computing to extract insights. Successfully implementing IoT will require addressing challenges involving security, system architecture, data management, scaling, and privacy. The author intends to focus on security issues.
