Ukuphepha kwe-IOT

Kuyini i-IoT?

I-Internet of Things (IoT) iyiqembu lamadivayisi axhunywe kwi-inthanethi. Ungase ucabange ngamadivayisi anjenge-laptop noma ama-smart TVS, kodwa i-IoT idlulela ngale kwalokho. Cabanga ngedivayisi kagesi esikhathini esidlule eyayingaxhunywanga kwi-inthanethi, njengomshini wokukopisha, isiqandisi ekhaya noma umshini wokwenza ikhofi egumbini lokuphumula. I-Internet of Things ibhekisela kuwo wonke amadivayisi angaxhunywa kwi-inthanethi, ngisho nalawo angavamile. Cishe noma iyiphi idivayisi eneswishi namuhla inamandla okuxhuma kwi-inthanethi futhi ibe yingxenye ye-IoT.

Kungani wonke umuntu ekhuluma nge-IoT manje?

I-IoT iyisihloko esishisayo ngoba sesiqaphele ukuthi zingaki izinto ezingaxhunywa kwi-inthanethi nokuthi lokhu kuzothinta kanjani amabhizinisi. Inhlanganisela yezici yenza i-IoT ibe yisihloko esifanele ukuxoxwa ngaso, okuhlanganisa:

• Indlela engabizi kakhulu yokwakha imishini esekelwe kubuchwepheshe
• Imikhiqizo eminingi iyahambisana ne-wi-fi
• Ukusetshenziswa kwama-smartphone kukhula ngokushesha
• Ikhono lokuguqula i-smartphone ibe yisilawuli samanye amadivayisi

Ngenxa yazo zonke lezi zizathu, i-IoT ayiseyona nje igama le-IT. Yigama okufanele wonke umnikazi webhizinisi alazi.

Yiziphi izinhlelo zokusebenza ze-IoT ezivame kakhulu emsebenzini?

Izifundo zikhombisile ukuthi amadivayisi e-IoT angathuthukisa ukusebenza kwebhizinisi. Ngokusho kukaGartner, ukukhiqiza kwabasebenzi, ukuqapha kude, kanye nezinqubo ezilungiselelwe yizinzuzo eziyinhloko ze-IoT izinkampani ezingazithola.

Kodwa ibukeka kanjani i-IoT ngaphakathi kwenkampani? Ibhizinisi ngalinye lihlukile, kodwa nansi izibonelo ezimbalwa zokuxhumeka kwe-IoT endaweni yokusebenza:

• Izikhiye ezihlakaniphile zivumela abaphathi ukuthi bavule iminyango ngama-smartphone abo, okuhlinzeka ngokufinyelela kubaphakeli ngoMgqibelo.
• Ama-thermostat alawulwa ngobuhlakani kanye nezibani kungavulwa futhi kucinywe ukuze kongiwe izindleko zamandla.
• Abasizi bezwi, njengoSiri noma u-Alexa, benza kube lula ukubhala amanothi, ukusetha izikhumbuzi, ukufinyelela amakhalenda, noma ukuthumela ama-imeyili.
• Izinzwa ezixhunywe kuphrinta zingabona ukushoda kweyinki bese zibeka ngokuzenzakalelayo ama-oda eyinki eyengeziwe.
• Amakhamera e-CCTV akuvumela ukuthi usakaze okuqukethwe nge-inthanethi.

Yini okufanele uyazi mayelana nokuphepha kwe-IoT?

Amadivayisi axhunyiwe angaba usizo olukhulu ebhizinisini lakho, kodwa noma iyiphi idivayisi exhunywe kwi-inthanethi ingaba sengozini yokuhlaselwa yi-inthanethi.

Ngokusho kwe-451 Research, ama-55% ochwepheshe be-IT afaka ukuphepha kwe-IoT njengento eza kuqala kubo. Kusukela kumaseva ebhizinisi kuya kwisitoreji samafu, izigebengu ze-inthanethi zingathola indlela yokusebenzisa ulwazi ezindaweni eziningi ngaphakathi kwe-ecosystem ye-IoT. Lokho akusho ukuthi kufanele ulahle ithebhulethi yakho yomsebenzi bese usebenzisa ipeni nephepha esikhundleni salokho. Kusho ukuthi kufanele uthathe ukuphepha kwe-IoT ngokungathi sína. Nazi ezinye zezeluleko zokuphepha ze-IoT:

• Ukuqapha amadivayisi eselula

Qinisekisa ukuthi amadivayisi eselula afana namathebulethi abhalisiwe futhi akhiyiwe ekupheleni kosuku ngalunye lokusebenza. Uma ithebhulethi ilahlekile, idatha nolwazi kungafinyelelwa futhi kugetshengwe. Qiniseka ukuthi usebenzisa amaphasiwedi okufinyelela aqinile noma izici ze-biometric ukuze kungabikho muntu ongangena kudivayisi elahlekile noma eyebiwe ngaphandle kwemvume. Sebenzisa imikhiqizo yokuphepha ekhawulela izinhlelo zokusebenza ezisebenza kudivayisi, ihlukanise idatha yebhizinisi neyomuntu siqu, futhi isule idatha yebhizinisi uma idivayisi yebiwe.

• Sebenzisa izibuyekezo ngokuzenzakalela zokulwa namagciwane

Udinga ukufaka isofthiwe kuwo wonke amadivayisi ukuze uvikele kuma-virus avumela abaduni ukuthi bafinyelele izinhlelo zakho kanye nedatha. Setha izibuyekezo ze-antivirus ezizenzakalelayo ukuze uvikele amadivayisi ekuhlaselweni kwenethiwekhi.

• Kudingeka iziqinisekiso zokungena ngemvume eziqinile

Abantu abaningi basebenzisa ukungena ngemvume nephasiwedi efanayo kuwo wonke amadivayisi abawasebenzisayo. Nakuba abantu bevame ukukhumbula lezi ziqinisekiso, izigebengu ze-inthanethi nazo zinamathuba amaningi okuqalisa ukuhlaselwa kwe-hacking. Qinisekisa ukuthi igama ngalinye lokungena lihlukile kubasebenzi ngamunye futhi lidinga iphasiwedi eqinile. Shintsha njalo iphasiwedi ezenzakalelayo kudivayisi entsha. Ungalokothi uphinde usebenzise iphasiwedi efanayo phakathi kwamadivayisi.

• Sebenzisa ukubethela kusukela ekuqaleni kuya ekugcineni

Amadivayisi axhunyiwe ayakhulumisana, futhi uma enza kanjalo, idatha idluliselwa kusuka endaweni eyodwa kuya kwenye. Udinga ukubhala ngemfihlo idatha endaweni ngayinye yokuhlangana. Ngamanye amazwi, udinga ukubhala ngemfihlo kusukela ekuqaleni kuya ekugcineni ukuze uvikele ulwazi njengoba luhamba lusuka endaweni eyodwa luya kwenye.

• Qinisekisa ukuthi imishini kanye nezibuyekezo zesofthiwe ziyatholakala futhi zifakiwe ngesikhathi esifanele

Uma uthenga imishini, qiniseka njalo ukuthi abathengisi bahlinzeka ngezibuyekezo futhi bazisebenzise ngokushesha nje lapho zitholakala. Njengoba kushiwo ngenhla, sebenzisa izibuyekezo ezizenzakalelayo noma nini lapho kungenzeka.

• Landelela imisebenzi yedivayisi etholakalayo bese ukhubaza imisebenzi engasetshenziswanga

Hlola imisebenzi etholakalayo kudivayisi bese uvala noma yimiphi engahloselwe ukusetshenziswa ukunciphisa ukuhlaselwa okungenzeka.

• Khetha umhlinzeki wokuphepha kwenethiwekhi ochwepheshe

Ufuna i-IoT isize ibhizinisi lakho, hhayi ukulilimaza. Ukuze kusizwe ekuxazululeni inkinga, amabhizinisi amaningi athembele kubahlinzeki bezokuphepha kwe-inthanethi abadumile kanye nabahlinzeki be-anti-virus ukuze bafinyelele ubuthakathaka futhi banikeze izixazululo ezihlukile zokuvimbela ukuhlaselwa kwe-inthanethi.

I-IoT akuyona indlela yobuchwepheshe. Izinkampani eziningi zingabona amandla ngamadivayisi axhunyiwe, kodwa awukwazi ukuziba izinkinga zokuphepha. Qiniseka ukuthi inkampani yakho, idatha, kanye nezinqubo zivikelwe lapho wakha uhlelo lwe-IoT.
