As someone who works as a software consultant for many IoT and connected device companies, how can I increase my understanding of IoT security? How can I ensure the devices I work with are secure?
- jahbrewski 9y agoSince posting this, I did some research, and it looks like the biggest security problem (currently) is manufacturers hardcoding default passwords into the firmware. Here I am thinking I need to become an expert in security to help my clients secure their devices, but is it really as simple as encouraging clients to set secure, default passwords?
- extrapickles 9y agoUnique passwords for each device, some form of auto-updating so the OS and any webservers don't get too old and making sure the developers know about the OWASP Top 10 should go a long way to making the devices secure. Anything else would be dependent on what the device is for and how it does it.
