Stephanie Lawrence, research analyst at ABI Research in a statement said “Wearables have much less in-built security and authentication protocols than other devices and so require robust security platforms to ensure data safety. Supporting platforms allow managers and IT teams to determine what information the wearables have access to, monitor their usage, create customised applications, and remotely control the devices. This ultimately safeguards the data from being compromised.”
