IoTforall, Tuesday, June 11th, 2024
The past few years have seen a sharp rise in cyber-attacks targeting vital infrastructure and security products worldwide, focusing on Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) devices like security cameras. An IoT security program is essential to improving cybersecurity.
A recent analysis by Kaspersky, based on data from honeypots shared with Threatpost, revealed an alarming figure: over 1.5 billion IoT breaches occurred in the first half of 2021 alone. However, it's essential to note that this number represents only recorded incidents, suggesting that the actual count could be much higher. This trend underscores the urgent need for IoT and IIoT manufacturers to take proactive steps to enhance the security of their devices and educate consumers about cybersecurity best practices.
Here at Syook, we specialize in developing IIoT solutions tailored to asset-heavy industries, where security is paramount. Through our experience and expertise, we have identified four fundamental pillars that form the cornerstone of any effective IoT security program.
