  IoT devices often transmit sensitive data—like location, audio/video feeds, or personal information—over the internet. Without encryption, this data is vulnerable to interception and tampering by malicious actors. Using protocols like SSL/TLS, encrypted connections ensure that data is secure in transit between devices and the cloud platform

  A. Encrypted Connection Why? When using a cloud-based platform for IoT management, data is transmitted over the internet, making encryption critical to protect sensitive information. Encrypted connections (e.g., TLS/SSL, VPN, or IPSec) ensure that data remains secure in transit and prevent eavesdropping or man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks. Many IoT devices are vulnerable due to weak security implementations, making encryption a fundamental security measure. Why Not the Others? B. Federated Identity – Useful for authentication across multiple systems but not specifically required for IoT cloud management. C. Firewall – Important for network security but doesn’t protect data in transit between IoT devices and the cloud. D. Single Sign-On (SSO) – Enhances authentication convenience but does not directly secure IoT data transmission.
