I don't buy their notion that IoT security is drastically different from PC security. Every IoT botnet incident I have heard of would have been avoided by placing the devices behind a non-fancy firewall that drops incoming traffic from the public Internet.
- adrianN 9y agoIoT security is different insofar as its hard to update the current generation of IoT devices.
- discreditable 9y agoTrue, but your insecure ssh/telnet daemons can't get Internet-exploited if they aren't directly facing the Internet.
- sigjuice 9y agoWhy is "IoT" even a separate thing? What is fundamentally different about small computers vs large computers when it comes to getting them on the Internet?
- adrianN 9y agoSmall computers are built by companies that used to make light bulbs and toasters and other hardware that you sell and forget about. They try to do the same with software that is connected to the net.
