Higher education taking steps to prepare for the IoT's expansion - eCampus News

As colleges and universities work to address the challenges the IoT presents from an IT perspective, they also are addressing the needs of their students who will pursue IoT-related careers.

Another top barrier for wide scale adoption involves security concerns (38.8 percent).
