Modern Strategies For IoT Device Fingerprinting
Security Boulevard, Saturday, August 31st, 2024
in 2016, the creators of the Mirai botnet clearly demonstrated the risks posed by devices connected to the internet by exploiting the vulnerabilities of thousands of IoT devices. It is becoming increasingly clear that effective protection against IoT risks cannot be achieved without accurate identification of every device on the internet or corporate network.
According to forecasts from Statista, by 2033, the number of smart devices used in corporate networks and on the internet will exceed 39 billion. Continuous monitoring and control of network activity are essential to provide effective protection against risks associated with the internet of things.
However, this requires identifying all devices on the network. This can be achieved by capturing the digital fingerprint of the device's operating system, as discussed in this article.
