Industry attention has narrowed in on the threat of commonly known IoT devices and their potential safety implications to the home, but there is as much - if not more - to consider when exploring IoT threats in the enterprise.
Research into seven common enterprise IoT devices revealed that their core technologies,...
A Field Guide to Understanding IoT Attacks from the Mirai Botnet to Its Modern Variants
The infamous Mirai IoT botnet was responsible for some of the largest and most distributive DDoS attacks in recent history. Commanding hundreds of thousands of IoT devices, it sent shock waves through the security marketplace...
Smart cities contain IT, OT and IIOT environments at different scales, which are dependent on each other at variant degrees, but not managed centrally. The Global Cyber Alliance will explore the systemic risk and legal/compliance challenges that come with securing smart city initiatives and how they can be addressed....
Digital transformation (DX) continues to drive growth across financial services firms, creating new opportunities to increase revenue and foster innovation. Cloud - whether public, private or a hybrid approach - is foundational to achieving DX objectives, as is secure, resilient and scalable network connectivity....
Organizations are focused on protecting traditional devices - laptops, desktops - but at each one of those endpoints is a user who has at least one and typically more than one mobile device. You may also have devices in the field to interact with customers and prospects or use IoT tools. This means that about half of...
Smart buildings utilize a wide range of technology - everything from fire alarms to thermostats to CCTV cameras. Traditionally, all these technologies have been separated by the types of cables and management station, but now with advances in IoT, many of these technologies have converged onto the corporate network....
