Five recommendations to mitigate IoT risk and maintain a strong security posture in this ever-growing connected world.
IoT Security Vulnerability
In 15 years, there will be many instances of IoT that we haven't even thought of yet. In fact, this is quite likely in a world that will have 10 to 100 times more Internet-connected devices than there are connected humans. Hundreds of billions of machines will be sensing, processing, and transmitting data without direct human control or intervention.
Even today, we're not successfully securing connected devices from attacks. Point-of-sale machines, elevators, HVAC systems, light-rail transit, and commercial aircraft have all become connected by converged IP-based networks, and now share a common trait: They've all been hacked.
