to govern interconnected devices communicating with each other and as it is well-known, the internet is
a critical infrastructure which provides an access to many literally getting them exposed to any kind of
the high-tech operations that can affect the entire objects and their networks.

Indeed, if it is coped with a security challenge, a logical thought could be how such a risk could be avoided
or mitigated giving new sorts of the requirements to engineering teams worldwide in regard to better
assurance of those being the consumers of such products and services which have opened a new
question and that is a transition from an unsafe to safe exploitation of the emerging technological ideas
and their brainstorming pillars.

At the beginning of any project, it is important to define some initial requirements which might contribute
to better quality, reliability and security of the final technological solution that should capture all inner,
outer and combined challenges being part of any technical system, so far. The IoT is a paradigm that still
needs to be smartly used as those inventing such a technology have been in a search for an answer to
the previous engineering challenge and that has been some resources shortage across the world. In
other words, at that time the humankind has looked for a response to that challenge equally trying hard
to provide something economically suitable which will from a business perspective have a marketplace
as cost-effectiveness with the functionality are the main demands of an optimal approach.

About a couple of decades ago, when the IoT has started it was quite obvious that for such a time a well-
developed and implied Wi-Fi communication could make a great job which was the fact then, but only
after a few years many have become aware that such a digital transformation has a plenty of weaknesses
that could affect lives and businesses of a lot of people over the globe.

The current tendency suggests that the IoT is a well-accepted concept nowadays even if there are yet a
heap of vulnerabilities with such an opportunity and apart from so with new innovations those barriers
could be removed as if it is imagined that an information exchange between devices is sensitive to the
hacker’s attacks certainly some of the high-tech defense techniques and tactics could be applied in order
to mitigate any threat which is not anyhow annoying as a wheel of the history goes forward and even the
modern technologies are just a phase of the development in an overall progress and evolution of the
human beings across the planet.

Apparently, one engineering challenge is well-tackled and truly the IoT might offer a plenty of options and
from such a reason it should not be excluded like that as it can additionally bring a lot of false positives
as its false negatives should be assumed as some concerns being such an expected in a world of math
and science and undoubtedly the clever minds which has resolved one engineering challenge will be
capable to proceed with the next maybe not in an ongoing generation of the technological development,
but more likely with the future collection of talents in an area of science and technology.

The mindful individuals throughout history have always dealt with the rational decisions providing to their
environments a true knowledge and in a case of the engineering stuffs which will literally work and be
based on the rigid scientific findings and evidence. Further, a real scientific thought will not hesitate to
give an accuracy and those who have left a track in an arena of the math and science have always
avoided all those oversufficient speculations which might destroy the beauties the human mind has
created during the time as only if it is coped with the pragmatic facts some dangerous mistakes could be
