Abstract
This chapter discusses the inevitable growth of the third-party ecosystem in a world where the rate at which things are being connected to the Internet is exponential. 200 billion is the number of devices that are predicted to be digitally connected by 2020, that is, more than 22 devices for every person who will be on planet earth by then. Clearly there is a pressing need to know who is making, and what is operating, and accessing these billions of connected devices. To meet this exciting challenge, consider a proven methodology for defining and applying pervasive security to third-party ecosystems.
