While many businesses have invested in securing their data centers to ensure their protection from outside intruders, hacks and ransomware incidents, the vast majority have failed to shore up interconnected access points from edge devices, leaving them susceptible to attack.
What is needed are solutions that provide device-level security that addresses all the technical, IP, supply chain and business process challenges manufacturers face without the need for them to become experts in cryptography and complex hardware security technologies themselves, say experts at Sequitur Labs.
With the increased proliferation of IoT devices available in the marketplace today, there are inherently more vulnerable access points than ever.
These “smart” devices – from phones to thermostats to autonomous vehicles and beyond – are designed with interconnectivity built into the products to satisfy internet access requirements needed to receive critical updates to firmware or functionality.
While secure data centers may be thought to be safe.....Read the full article HERE.
Without the appropriate implementation of IoT Security, vendors risk damage to their products, credibility and brand, as well as the loss of critical IP that is used to conduct complicated tasks that require some level of intelligent functionality with access to sensitive code or data sets.
