Ukuphepha kwe-IOT

Yini i-IoT?

I-inthanethi Yezinto (IoT) iyiqembu lamadivayisi axhunywe ku-inthanethi. Ungase ucabange ngamadivayisi afana nama-laptops noma i-smart TVS, kodwa i-IoT idlulela ngale kwalokho. Cabanga ngomshini kagesi esikhathini esidlule owawungaxhumekile ku-inthanethi, njenge-photocopier, isiqandisi ekhaya noma umenzi wekhofi egumbini lokuphumula. I-inthanethi Yezinto ibhekisela kuwo wonke amadivayisi angaxhumeka ku-inthanethi, ngisho nalawo angajwayelekile. Cishe noma iyiphi idivayisi eneswishi namuhla inamandla okuxhuma ku-inthanethi futhi ibe yingxenye ye-IoT.

Kungani wonke umuntu ekhuluma nge-IoT manje?

I-IoT iyisihloko esishisayo ngoba sesibonile ukuthi zingaki izinto ezingaxhunywa ku-inthanethi nokuthi lokhu kuzowathinta kanjani amabhizinisi. Inhlanganisela yezinto yenza i-IoT ibe isihloko esifanele ingxoxo, okuhlanganisa:

• Indlela engabizi kakhulu yokwakha imishini esekelwe kubuchwepheshe
• Imikhiqizo eminingi iyahambisana ne-wi-fi
• Ukusetshenziswa kwama-smartphone kukhula ngokushesha
• Amandla okuguqula i-smartphone ibe isilawuli samanye amadivaysi

Kuzo zonke lezi zizathu i-IoT ayiselona nje igama le-IT. Kuyitemu okufanele wonke umnikazi webhizinisi alazi.

Yiziphi izinhlelo zokusebenza ze-IoT ezivame kakhulu emsebenzini?

Ucwaningo lubonise ukuthi amadivayisi we-IoT angathuthukisa ukusebenza kwebhizinisi. NgokukaGartner, ukukhiqiza kwabasebenzi, ukuqapha okukude, nezinqubo ezilungiselelwe yizinzuzo eziphambili ze-IoT ezingatholwa yizinkampani.

Kepha ibukeka kanjani i-IoT ngaphakathi kwenkampani? Wonke amabhizinisi ahlukile, kepha nazi izibonelo ezimbalwa zokuxhumeka kwe-IoT emsebenzini:

• Izikhiya ezihlakaniphile zivumela abaphathi ukuthi bavule iminyango ngama-smartphone abo, banikeze ukufinyelela kubahlinzeki ngoMgqibelo.
• Ama-thermostat nezibani ezilawulwa ngobuhlakani zingavulwa futhi zivalwe ukuze kongiwe izindleko zamandla.
• Abasizi bezwi, njenge-Siri noma i-Alexa, bakwenza kube lula ukuthatha amanothi, ukusetha izikhumbuzi, ukufinyelela amakhalenda, noma ukuthumela ama-imeyili.
• Izinzwa ezixhunywe kuphrinta zingakwazi ukubona ukushoda kwe-inki futhi ngokuzenzekelayo zifake ama-oda kayinki owengeziwe.
• Amakhamera e-CCTV akuvumela ukuthi usakaze okuqukethwe nge-inthanethi.

Yini okufanele uyazi nge-IoT Security?

Amadivayisi axhunyiwe angaba umfutho wangempela webhizinisi lakho, kodwa noma iyiphi idivayisi exhunywe ku-inthanethi ingaba sengcupheni yokuhlaselwa ku-inthanethi.

Ngokuvumelana ne451 Ucwaningo, ama-55% ochwepheshe be-IT baklelisa ukuphepha kwe-IoT njengento eza kuqala kubo. Kusukela kumaseva ebhizinisi kuya ekugcinweni kwamafu, izigebengu ze-inthanethi zingathola indlela yokukhulisa ulwazi ezindaweni eziningi ngaphakathi kwe-IoT ecosystem. Lokho akusho ukuthi kufanele ulahle ithebhulethi yakho yomsebenzi futhi usebenzise ipeni nephepha esikhundleni salokho. Kusho nje ukuthi kufanele uthathe ukuphepha kwe-IoT ngokungathi sína. Nawa amanye amathiphu wokuphepha we-IoT:

• Ukuqapha amadivaysi eselula

Qinisekisa ukuthi amadivaysi eselula njengamathebulethi abhalisiwe futhi akhiywa ekupheleni kosuku ngalunye lokusebenza. Uma ithebhulethi ilahleka, idatha nolwazi lungafinyelelwa futhi lugqekezwe. Qiniseka ukuthi usebenzisa amaphasiwedi okufinyelela aqinile noma izici ze-biometric ukuze kungabikho muntu ongangena kudivayisi elahlekile noma entshontshiwe ngaphandle kokugunyazwa. Sebenzisa imikhiqizo yokuvikela ekhawulela izinhlelo zokusebenza ezisebenza kudivayisi, ehlukanisa idatha yebhizinisi neyomuntu siqu, futhi usule idatha yebhizinisi uma idivayisi yebiwa.

• Sebenzisa izibuyekezo ezizenzakalelayo zokulwa namagciwane

Udinga ukufaka isofthiwe kuwo wonke amadivayisi ukuze uvikele kumagciwane avumela abagebengu bafinyelele amasistimu nedatha yakho. Setha izibuyekezo ezizenzakalelayo zesivikeli magciwane ukuze uvikele amadivayisi ekuhlaselweni kwenethiwekhi.

• Kudingeka izifakazelo zokungena eziqinile

Abantu abaningi basebenzisa ukungena ngemvume okufanayo nephasiwedi kuwo wonke amadivayisi abawasebenzisayo. Yize abantu bejwayele ukukhumbula lezi zimpawu, izigebengu ze-inthanethi nazo zingase ziqalise ukuhlasela ngokugebenga. Qinisekisa ukuthi igama lokungena ngalinye lihlukile kumsebenzi ngamunye futhi lidinga iphasiwedi eqinile. Njalo shintsha iphasiwedi ezenzakalelayo kudivayisi entsha. Ungalokothi usebenzise iphasiwedi efanayo phakathi kwamadivayisi.

• Sebenzisa ukubethela ngasemaphethelweni

Amadivayisi anenethiwekhi ayakhuluma wodwa, futhi uma enza kanjalo, idatha idluliswa isuka kwelinye iphuzu iye kwelinye. Udinga ukubethela idatha ezimpambanweni zomgwaqo ngayinye. Ngamanye amazwi, udinga ukubethela ngasemaphethelweni ukuze uvikele ulwazi njengoba luhamba lusuka kwelinye iphuzu luye kwelinye.

• Qinisekisa ukuthi izisetshenziswa nezibuyekezo zesofthiwe ziyatholakala futhi zifakwe ngesikhathi

Uma uthenga izinto zokusebenza, hlala uqinisekisa ukuthi abathengisi bahlinzeka ngezibuyekezo futhi uzisebenzise ngokushesha uma sezitholakala. Njengoba kushiwo ngenhla, sebenzisa izibuyekezo ezizenzakalelayo noma nini lapho kunokwenzeka.

• Landelela imisebenzi yedivayisi etholakalayo futhi ukhubaze imisebenzi engasetshenzisiwe

Hlola imisebenzi etholakalayo ocingweni bese ucisha noma yikuphi okungahlosiwe ukuthi kusetshenziselwe ukunciphisa ukuhlasela okungenzeka.

• Khetha umhlinzeki wokuphepha wenethiwekhi ochwepheshe

Ufuna i-IoT isize ibhizinisi lakho, hhayi ukulilimaza. Ukusiza ukuxazulula inkinga, amabhizinisi amaningi athembele kubahlinzeki be-cybersecurity abahlonishwayo kanye nabahlinzeki be-anti-virus ukuze bafinyelele ubungozi futhi banikeze izixazululo ezihlukile zokuvimbela ukuhlaselwa ku-inthanethi.

I-IoT akuyona imfashini yezobuchwepheshe. Izinkampani eziningi zingakwazi ukubona amandla ngamadivayisi axhunyiwe, kodwa awukwazi ukuziba izinkinga zokuphepha. Qiniseka ukuthi inkampani yakho, idatha, nezinqubo zivikelekile lapho wakha i-ecosystem ye-IoT.
