Challenges

Every Connected Device Exposes Your Business to Cyberattacks

IoT Devices are easy targets for cybercriminals looking for a weakness to exploit and get into your system. Stay ahead of the game by understanding the risks associated with IoT security. Let's work together to keep your data and devices safe.

Limited Built-in Security

IoT devices tend to have lightweight, stripped-down operating systems that lack the common security features of more robust assets.

Easy Entry Point

IoT environments are frequently connected to business applications, data centers or IT infrastructure, and the cloud. That makes simple IoT devices easy targets for hackers to use for entry to the rest of the network.

Data Privacy

IoT devices can collect and send sensitive information to cloud-based servers, which can be risky if not adequately protected. GDPR, HIPAA, and other data protection laws limit who can access this information, making it crucial to have proper security measures in place.

FAQ

Learn More About Internet of Things

What Is IoT (Internet of Things)?

IoT refers to a network of physical devices connected to the internet that can communicate with each other and are connected to the internet. Data can be collected and exchanged via these devices due to their embedded sensors, software, and network connectivity. Examples of IoT devices include smart home devices like thermostats, security cameras, voice assistants, and industrial equipment like manufacturing machines and vehicles.

Why Is IoT Device Security Important?

IoT (Internet of Things) devices are becoming increasingly ubiquitous in our homes, workplaces, and public spaces. These devices are designed to collect and transmit data over the internet, and they can be used to monitor and control various aspects of our environment, from home appliances and heating systems to traffic and security cameras. However, because IoT devices are connected to the internet, they are vulnerable to various forms of cyber-attacks, which can compromise the security and privacy of users.
 
There are several reasons why IoT device security is important:
 
Protecting Personal Data: Many IoT devices collect and transmit personal data, such as location, health information, and usage patterns. If this data is not secured properly, it can be intercepted and misused by cybercriminals.
 
Ensuring System Integrity: IoT devices are often connected to larger systems, such as home networks, power grids, and traffic control systems. If these devices are compromised, it can lead to widespread disruptions and potentially catastrophic consequences.
 
Preventing Unauthorized Access: IoT devices can be used to control access to physical spaces, such as homes, offices, and factories. If these devices are not secure, hackers can gain access to these spaces, causing damage or stealing valuable assets.
 
Protecting Against Botnets: Botnets are networks of compromised IoT devices that are used to launch large-scale cyber-attacks, such as Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. By securing IoT devices, we can prevent them from being used as part of a botnet.
 
Overall, securing IoT devices is essential to protect personal data, ensure system integrity, prevent unauthorized access, and protect against cyber-attacks. As the number of IoT devices continues to grow, it is important to prioritize IoT security to protect ourselves and our critical infrastructure from potential threats.
 

What Are Common Cybersecurity Threats to IoT devices?

There are several common cybersecurity threats to IoT (Internet of Things) devices that users should be aware of:

  1. Malware: Malware is a type of software that is designed to harm or exploit a computer system. IoT devices can be infected with malware through a variety of methods, such as phishing emails, unsecured networks, or compromised software updates.
  2. Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks: DDoS attacks occur when a large number of devices flood a network or website with traffic, overwhelming it and causing it to crash. IoT devices can be used as part of a botnet to launch DDoS attacks on a target.
  3. Man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks: MitM attacks occur when an attacker intercepts the communication between two devices and can manipulate or eavesdrop on the data being transmitted. IoT devices can be vulnerable to MitM attacks if they are not using secure communication protocols.
  4. Physical attacks: Physical attacks on IoT devices involve physically accessing the device and exploiting its vulnerabilities. This can include stealing the device, tampering with its software or hardware components, or extracting sensitive data from the device.
  5. Weak authentication and passwords: IoT devices may use weak authentication methods, such as default passwords, that are easy to guess or crack. This makes it easier for attackers to gain access to the device and potentially the larger network it is connected to.
  6. Lack of security updates: Many IoT devices do not receive regular security updates, leaving them vulnerable to known security vulnerabilities that can be exploited by attackers.

Overall, these common cybersecurity threats highlight the need for users and manufacturers to prioritize IoT device security to protect against potential attacks. This can include implementing strong authentication methods, using secure communication protocols, regularly updating device software, and being vigilant for signs of malware or other security breaches.
