Will Billions of IoT Devices Become Billions of Security Vulnerabilities?
Will Billions of IoT Devices Become Billions of Security Vulnerabilities? Conventional approaches to IT security will leave the Internet of Things (IoT) vulnerable to devastating attacks, according to Alan Grau, president of Icon Labs. The firm produces security products and an accompanying framework for manufacturers of embedded and IoT devices. “Security must be built into the device itself,” Grau told Design News in a recent interview. Designing such protection “provides a critical security layer -- the devices are no longer dependent upon the corporate firewall as their sole layer of security. In addition, the security can be customized to the needs of the device.”
