The following are the correct matches. Infrastructure Management = Track events or changes that could compromise safety. Energy Management = Integrate into nearly all energy-consuming devices Environmental Monitoring = Monitor movements of wildlife and their habitats IoT has a wide range of opportunities including tracking important features of infrastructure including incidents like safety and other event tracking to make improvements in an organizations, management of power resources and scheduling of device tasks to reduce energy consumption, and monitoring the earth's ecosystem to better understand agriculture, natural resource usage and wildlife preservation.

What are the forces that are driving the IoT market? Select all that apply. Availability of intelligent management software Low hardware costs Increase in devices and users Advances in wireless communication

The following choices are correct. Availability of intelligent management software Low hardware costs Main factors driving the IoT market are advancements in the power of computing and software capability, standardization of communications and cloud services, and cheaper hardware costs.

What does IoT promise? Select all that apply. Every device can become part of a node controlled over the Internet. Every device is connected with an IP address. Every device or real world physical object could have a unique ID. Every device can somehow can communicate with another.

The following choices are correct. Every device can become part of a node controlled over the Internet. Every device or real world physical object could have a unique ID. The Internet of Things, or IoT, is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects with unique identifiers (UIDs ) and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction via connections at points or nodes that can take information from even the simplest of objects and make it useable.

Which of the following are potential IoT security issues? Select all that apply. Inexpensive and standard wireless communication. Device communication with one another. Growth of IoT at a pace faster than we assess risk for cyber-attack. Cloud services and applications not properly maintained and upgraded.

The following choices are correct. Growth of IoT at a pace faster than we assess risk for cyber-attack. Cloud services and applications not properly maintained and upgraded.

Which of the following applies to the industrial applications of IoT technology? Select all that apply. Can increase quality but cost will be higher and there will be more waste. Allows automation in processes. Helps troubleshoot problems and enhance productivity. Enables data collection through the production line.

The following choices are correct. Helps troubleshoot problems and enhance productivity. Enables data collection through the production line. Allows automation in processes. Industrial applications of IoT technology (IIoT) allows manufacturers and suppliers to decrease cost, improve quality, automate systems, improve data collect capabilities, reduce waste, enhance production output, and reduce time to resolve production issues.

True or False: A SMART digital device and connected device are the same thing.

The statement is false. A "SMART" IoT device or component must be able to automatically perform intelligent actions based on analysis of data that is collected by the device or component (feedback). Simply connecting some "thing" to the Internet isn't enough.

True or False: Security and privacy have become a matter of life or death.

The statement is true. Identity theft and credit card fraud are the preeminent forms of cybercrime today. IoT applications such as smart cars, smart homes, smart utilities, and smart wearables and medical devices will open up a Pandora's box of new threats that will increasingly become the cyberattacks of choice, including ransomware, hacktivism, and cyberterrorism. Security and privacy must be at the top of everyone's mind in the IoT industry.

True or False: Adopting standards is critical for the success of the IoT.

The statement is true. The IoT is a rapidly changing and constantly evolving frontier. Without standards, device manufacturers will rush to market with the latest "thing" in order to exploit short‐term competitive advantages and fast profits, without regard to interoperability or long‐term sustainability. To make the IoT a truly smart, connected universe rather than an Internet of random "stuff," standards need to be adopted.

Match the appropriate words to complete the statement. Consumers want solutions not necessarily gadgets. For an IoT solution to be effectively introduced (a) _____ to consumers devices need to be able to communicate in many ways on networks and with devices (b)____, can be ignored for long periods of time without being serviced (c)_____, potentially capable to run on many different power types (d)_____, and are responsive to changes in surroundings and generally unnoticeable to individuals without someone getting involved (e)_____.

a. deployed b. heterogeneous c. reliable d. economy e. unobtrusive

When was and who popularized the concept of IoT?

1999 by Kevin Ashton is the correct choice. The concept of a network of smart devices was discussed as early as 1982, with a modified Coke vending machine at Carnegie Mellon University becoming the first Internet-connected appliance. The term Internet of Things was likely coined by Kevin Ashton in 1999 at Procter & Gamble who started MIT's Auto-ID Center. It was also suggest to be Internet for Things.

Match the following IoT deployment characteristics with the descriptions. Heterogeneous Unobtrusive Economical Reliability

Heterogeneous: IoT devices can communicate on different types of networks and with other IoT devices. Unobtrusive: IoT devices respond to changes in the system or environment rather than direct user input. Economical: IoT devices can use alternate power sources as they may not be connected to a main power grid. Reliability: IoT devices may be located in remote areas and go long spans between servicing.
