The Future of IoT Relies on Cybersecurity

Think about all of the information – personal and professional – that you’ve entrusted to the Internet of Things (IoT). Have IoT devices earned this trust we invest in them? Our interactions with IoT are so often focused on automated technology that — by choice or by habit — we often assume we can trust IoT simply because it’s not human. But, in reality, the human elements of IoT devices are critical to their success and to their failure. Just as a device can be programmed to solve challenges and create conveniences, they can also be programmed to hack data and hide security flaws. We spoke with industry expert E.G. Nadhan of Red Hat to learn more about the state of IoT security and how companies and consumers can avoid risk. Listen to this episode to learn about: Emerging paradigms in IoT security The inherent risks of IoT and how to develop the right level of trust The new way companies should calculate their risk Recommendations for IoT security strategies Weaponized Smart Devices & the Internet of Things – As companies increase adoption of IoT devices, cyber attackers continue to take advantage of the security risks they present. Why You Need to Grasp the Human Side of the Internet of Things (IoT) – The Internet of Things isn’t just about, well, things. To succeed with IoT, you must understand the human connections that power technology.
