In recent years, there has been a significant rise in the use of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and this trend is reflected in Zscaler cloud, which processes millions of transactions every day from internet-connected devices. The IoT dashboard allows you to see which devices—from printers to smartphones to data collection terminals—are generating the most traffic by day, week, or month. You can sort by device manufacturers and by the countries where the traffic originated and where it’s destined.

Many IoT devices have weak security and communicate over unsecured channels, so it’s critical to have visibility into IoT traffic and to ensure that every connection is secured to reduce the risk of outside attacks.
