IOT Security
The Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of physical devices, vehicles, home appliances, and other items embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators, and connectivity which enables these things to connect and exchange data creating opportunities for more direct integration of the physical world into computer-based systems, via cloud resulting in efficiency improvements, economic benefits, and reduced human exertions. The Internet of Things (IoT) has found its way into all aspects of our lives. In particular IoT devices such as CCTV, Electronic Water and Electricity Meters (Energy Management) , Medical and Healthcare Solutions , Parking systems, Machine to Machine (M2M),Industrial Applications, Building and Home automation. This IoT insurgence represents a unique challenge since many of these devices are deployed without IT’s knowledge or not accounted for as a normal part of IT security planning and create serious vulnerabilities and Security Risks. While some IoT products are designed with strong security, many have a simple or non-existent user interface, default (or hardcoded) passwords, open hardware and software ports, limited local password protection, lack the ability to be updated, They collect more data than expected and use insecure backend services. Enterprises should be proactive and fully consider building a new Security Solution with 1Assure DMCC offering the right suitable solutions Securing these devices.
