Too many IoT deployments both within the consumer space and within Industrial IoT, lack a trusted end-to-end security solution starting with device and service attestation leverage a HW based secure root of trust to enable secure on-boarding, the communication, the data and the interaction in a M2M or M2C context from a trusted source. Without the level of device trust and assurance, data sent from the device, or any interaction with it can be bogus and not trusted.
