Security Trumps Ease-Of-Use For Smart-Home Consumers As Market Reaches Critical Mass

September 25, 2016

Conducted through OnePoll, the survey canvassed 1,200 respondents in the US, UK, France, Germany, Italy and Japan on the IoT devices they had in their home and security measures people take (or fail to take) to secure their smart homes.

From the article "Security Trumps Ease-Of-Use For Smart-Home Consumers As Market Reaches Critical Mass" by Adam Bannister.
