UK Releases Cybersecurity “Code of Practice” for IoT Developers
The Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly growing, but cybersecurity for IoT is becoming a real concern; IoT security is not keeping up with the progress that IoT is making as a whole, and it’s opening a huge gap for attackers to steal information and disrupt global supply chains. Estimates show there are more than […]
Can Edge Computing Address IoT Security Concerns?
Edge computing is a new buzzword used to describe a powerful paradigm of processing that’s incredibly flexible, seamless, and fast. Can it solve security issues by acting as an additional layer of protection between the devices that interface with a corporate network and the rest of the devices in an IoT system? Vintage = Vulnerable […]
California Wants to Stop Hackers from Controlling IoT Gadgets
