Our everyday lives are getting more and more connected with the web, and with that emerges the so called Internet of Things paradigm. The main objective of digitalizing the physical environment is to streamline everyday tasks whether it is on an individual basis or on an industrial basis. The purpose of this study is to examine the security and privacy issues related to the Internet of Things and the challenges the industry faces when developing IoT-solutions. We carried out interviews with four respondents whom all were active in the IoT-industry. The result of our study shows that the ubiquitous nature of technology put more at stake, resulting in the industry having to responsibly handle security and privacy related issues in a different way than before. Also, because of the Internet of Things still being in such an early developmental stage, there are standardization issues at hand that complicates the development of IoT-solutions.
