The IoT industry’s response to emerging threats
Jose Nazario, PhD
Late last year, we took a look at how the Internet of Things (IoT) is under attack. We analyzed hundreds of individual IoT devices to see how often they were probed for vulnerabilities, with the intention of being employed for IoT botnet attacks. We did more robust vulnerability research on IoT devices that have been found vulnerable in the past and concluded that while malicious probes are constant, manufacturers have taken action to update their firmware and address security holes. Read on to hear our latest findings.
