    Simple Tips to Enhance IoT Security

    Apac CIO Outlook | Friday, December 10, 2021

    The Internet of Things offers a slew of advantages, including cost savings, increased efficiency, improved safety, and improved customer service, to name a few.

    Fremont, CA: The Internet of Things (IoT) is a huge help to companies. However, it also implies a significant potential extension of the attack surface in cybersecurity. IoT integration has been unplanned, chaotic, and poorly designed in many enterprises thus far, and it must get changed. After all, IoT security gets intertwined with IT security.

    The Internet of Things offers a slew of advantages, including cost savings, increased efficiency, improved safety, and better customer service, to name a few.

    Smart, unconnected gadgets, such as thermostats and coffee machines, become smart and linked thanks to the Internet of Things. Sensors for tracking truckers, warehouses, and shipping, as well as networked monitoring for vital infrastructure, are included. It also allows for the development of new business models. The smart building idea consists of IoT systems. Anything linked to the internet or a corporate network might be a backdoor into the connected network. If one disregards device processing power and focuses just on connection, the Internet of Things tenfolds the number of devices linked to the network, which increases the attack surface.

    The majority of IoT devices collect and send data of some sort, increasing the quantity of data transmitted, stored, and processed, increasing danger.

    By default, IoT devices get connected to the internet. IoT security issues arise when a threat actor or bot acquires access to such devices or intercepts or stops their network connection.

    Security solutions for IoT devices aren't something one adds after the fact. Securely construct the IoT infrastructure from the bottom up. Here are a few suggestions:

    • Select the appropriate products. Because the market currently lacks standards and universal certifications, purchasing safe IoT devices necessitates significant study. Look for reputable providers who have a good track record for security.

    • Eliminate capabilities and features that aren't required. Avoid USB ports, for example, if one doesn't need them. Any function that may give one access to the device but not use should get avoided.

    • Isolate your IoT devices from the rest of the network as much as feasible. Meanwhile, consider using Wi-Fi networks exclusively for IoT devices. Firewalls on the perimeter of the network are a good idea. Put as many barriers in the way of potential attackers as one can.

    • Ensure that IoT device IDs and authentication keys get secured in a secure location.

    • Conduct regular security audits — even after an incident if necessary.

    •To make data streaming from IoT devices safe, use encryption or digital certificates.

    • Make a list of the rules and procedures for dealing with a cyber attack.
