Companies are working on the development of blockchain technology for the security of IoT devices. Blockchain can play an important role regarding the security of IoT devices as it is hard to compromise, and also immutable. Some companies are also providing their platforms for the deployment of IoT devices using blockchain network such as IOTA Tangle.
