One-size-fits-all not enough to secure IoT
Steve Hanna, co-chair of TCG’s Embedded Systems Work Group, speaking at the Embedded Technologies Expo and Conference 2019 in San Jose, says every kind of connected object must be assessed individually. Hannah says the growing trend for greater connectivity puts everyday objects at risk of exploitation and makes mission critical systems in businesses and governments more vulnerable to attacks.
And while securing the IoT is often referred to as a singular movement, Hanna emphasised that every device had to be handled according to its individual needs, warning that there would be no single method that could be universally applied to safeguard devices.
