We also should know the background of most of IoT device designers to evaluate the support can be provided to them, to do so lets have a look at the embedded devices which were introduced in 1974 with the first integrated computer machine using a single-board computer, microcontrollers and built into a wider package. Embedded device can be described as a device that contains hardware and software that is thoroughly linked to a particular function, part of a broader framework, not independently programmable by the user, and can work with or without minimal human interference.
IoT's fundamental basis is embedded systems, with single difference is that embedded systems don't provide explicit internet connection, The IoT was first used in 1984, long before the name was recognized. Later the basic idea of IoT was adopted when sensor nodes were designed to identify and exchange data of embedded devices seamlessly. As background reveals, IoT devices are the product of the development of embedded systems. Many IoT device designers background is coming from embedded systems where cybersecurity is not considered as threat for them since embedded systems are essentially used without any internet connectivity in closed systems.
