Extending Cybersecurity Awareness To IoT Devices
viakoo, Tuesday, October 31,2023
We're at the end of Cybersecurity Awareness Month, which is a good time to reflect on where your organization needs to improve and extend it's cybersecurity efforts.
If you're like most organizations the answer is IoT devices and applications; it's the fastest growing attack surface for most organizations and on track to set a new record for attacks in 2023 (in 2022 there were over 3 billion IoT cyber attacks).
The news has not been good for IoT security over the past year, with high profile devastating attacks including MGM slot machines and payment systems, Cisco routers, and Philips medical devices. Wars in Ukraine and now the Middle East have brought new examples of how IoT devices like IP cameras and building systems are targets for both cybercriminals and combatants.
