CYBER SECURITY STRATEGY OF MONTENEGRO 2018-2021 that the connecting of the aforementioned items enables unhindered communication, recording of information and data exchange, the concern in the world of informatics is quite justified. Therefore, this concept represents one of the leading security issues in the world. The term that includes a larger domain is called the Internet of Everything (IoE) and was first defined by CISCO as a part of the 2013 study entitled “Internet of Everything Value Index5. Global penetration of Internet users in the period 2013-2017 IoT is a set of devices, vehicles, household appliances, as well as other items with built-in electronics, software, sensors, etc. connected to a shared network. Taking into account the fact IoE represents an intelligent network of people, processes, data and things. More accurately, it is based on IoT, adding network intelligence that enables the efficient use of telephone, video and data communications via the same network (convergence), automation or process improvement with potential synchronisation of real-time data (orchestration), as well as visibility in different systems. On the other hand, an abundance of different options brings with it threats that can cause adverse consequences to a large extent. “We are entering the fourth generation of the Internet. In the next 10 years, we will see that the competitiveness of the company will be measured by how well they understand the IoE concept and how much they use it.” Michael Ganser Senior Vice President of CISCO Central Europe According to a study presented by one of the Britain’s and global leading research companies in 2017, IHS technology, more than 20 billion devices are connected via the Internet. It is estimated that by the end of 2020 there will be at least 30 billion, while by 2025 this number will exceed an incredible 75 billion. 6 5 6 Such an expansion of devices will definitely bring about new opportunities, but will also make additional room for actions of malicious individuals or groups, because in most cases the devices are not designed in compliance with the online security standards. https://newsroom.cisco.com/press-release-content?type=webcontent&articleId=1209280 IHS Technology – IoT platforms: enabling the Internet of Things: https://cdn.ihs.com/www/pdf/enabling-IOT.pdf 8
