FEATURES, INSIGHTS // IoT Security
As IoT adoption increases within healthcare, healthcare organizations and device manufacturers will need to prioritize the security of connected medical devices to keep patient data private and ensure the safety of the patient.
Linux is becoming a more popular target for attackers as it operates the back-end systems of many networks and container-based solutions for IoT devices and mission-critical applications.
Given the range and complexity of XIoT, it’s understandable that CISOs want to have a comprehensive view across all aspects and elements of their networks, spanning industrial, healthcare, and enterprise environments.
There is a pressing need tighten IoT security, especially in an insecure world where these unmanaged devices are playing a rapidly-growing and increasingly important role
Proactive risk management requires being able to examine and address risk from different yet complementary perspectives to bring context to the overall security of an OT environment.
Today’s dynamic threatscape requires security professionals to adjust to an ever-expanding attack surface.
As IoT devices turn homes into ‘smart homes’, they also expose consumers to cyber-attacks in their everyday lives. The industry needs to bring its attention back to these issues and identify potential solutions.
Securing smart cities offers many opportunities to rethink our assumptions on security and “level up” the discussion to solve problems at the ecosystem level.
Because blockchain can process millions of transactions accurately and in the right order, it can protect the data exchanges happening between IoT devices.
In a world of over-hyped bugs, stunt hacking, and branded vulnerability disclosures, my advice to CISOs is to make security lemonade by finding practical next steps to take.
