Bad actors are increasingly targeting connected devices, and network providers are fighting back. But when it comes to protecting the IoT, a one-size-fits-all approach simply doesn’t fit. The security measures that protect IoT devices in business settings don’t readily translate to devices in consumers’ homes, says Marcio Avillez, SVP of networks at CUJO AI. In the latest Intelligence of Things Tracker, Avillez makes a case for taking a device-specific approach in thwarting threats to smart homes.
Consumers often find the promise of greater convenience to be a convincing reason to buy connected devices. Unfortunately, reports of breached connected devices are all too frequent, and consumers may find they are introducing not just connectivity, but also bad actors, into their homes.
