Internet of Things

Overview
Suddenly, everything from refrigerators to sprinkler
systems are wired and interconnected, and while
these devices have made life easier, they’ve also
created new attack vectors for hackers. These devices
are now collectively called the Internet of Things (IoT).
IoT devices are poised to become more pervasive in
our lives than mobile phones and will have access to
the most sensitive personal data such as social
security numbers and banking information. As the
number of connected IoT devices constantly increases,
security concerns are also exponentially multiplied. A
couple of security concerns on a single device such as
a mobile phone can quickly turn to 50 or 60 concerns
when considering multiple IoT devices in an
interconnected home or business. In light of the
importance of what IoT devices have access to, it’s
important to understand their security risk.
