As the IoT market is booming, several issues are delaying the full realization of the technology. IoT devices, in cybersecurity terms, greatly increase security risk. This means that any scientific work that offers cybersecurity strategies will excite security experts who will be glad to expand their knowledge base on IoT cybersecurity. As a result of the booming of the IoT market, business competitors are jockeying for a piece of the market. This means that solutions from researchers that address compatibility issues will be greatly welcomed by IoT technology developers. Connectivity providers are likely to embrace solutions to challenges of bandwidth since a growing IoT market must be followed up by bandwidth-intensive IoT applications which tend to jostle for space on the current client-server model. Overpromising followed by underdelivering, has been the current approach by many innovators and the mismatch results in losses in production, orphaned technologies accompanied by frequent system failures. Solutions that address IoT performance issues are likely to excite many start-ups. Solutions to challenges of fragmentation presented by thousands of devices from different manufacturers operating on proprietary ecosystems are likely to be warmly embraced by many IoT brands developers. As such, a publication that specifically addresses the challenges faced in the rolling out of IoT technologies is sorely needed.
