Major Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks (IWSN) Market Challenge
Increasing concerns about data security and privacy are major challenges impeding the growth of the global IWSN market. IWSN poses significant challenges in terms of data security and privacy. IWSN solutions collect and transmit sensitive data from industrial processes, making them highly vulnerable to issues such as unauthorized access, data breaches, and cyber-attacks. The IWSN system has inherent flaws that can be exploited by malicious actors to steal or manipulate data, causing serious harm to both businesses and individuals.
Additionally, the deployment and upkeep of IWSNs are made more challenging by the need for compliance with data protection laws like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the EU and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) in the US. To address these issues and reduce the risk of data breaches and cyberattacks, businesses must implement strong security measures to guarantee the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of their data. This challenge is expected to hinder the growth of the global IWSN market during the forecast period.
