Strategies To Secure Long-Life IoT Devices
HelpNet Security, Friday, June 20th, 2025
In this Help Net Security interview, Rob ter Linden, CISO at Signify, discusses priorities for CISOs working on IoT security, including the need for compliant infrastructure, easy device management, and preparing for future tech like quantum computing and AI. He also covers challenges with IoT visibility, security, and new regulations.
For CISOs building or improving an IoT security strategy, what should be the top 3 priorities?
1. First off, creating an IoT infrastructure that matches global expectations and meets local legislative requirements within each market where you operate is key.
2. IoT infrastructure, such as central and IoT devices, should also be easily upgradable and straightforward to maintain, and able to be remotely monitored.
3. Finally, there are always new challenges and opportunities in such a fast-moving area. Prepare for quantum computing (edge and central) and applying AI capabilities and ensuring separation of duties regarding connectivity.
