According to Ponemon’s 2020 Study on the State of Endpoint Security Risk, the frequency of attacks against endpoints is increasing and detection is difficult. Worse is that the vast majority (80%) of successful endpoint breaches are zero-day attacks. That means that many of the threats organizations face are due to new, unresolved vulnerabilities. Here are […]

Will Uncertainty in US 5G Deployments Affect IoT Development?
Over the last year or so, wireless providers all over the world have put plans in motion to begin phased rollouts of the next-generation of wireless connectivity known as 5G. The technology, offers vast gains in throughput, data latency, and capacity compared to current wireless networks. It is expected to finally unleash the true potential […]
IoT older devices are more venerable to cyber attacks
This year’s Kaspersky conference was held in Cancun, Mexico and one theme that was constantly resonated during the conference was the reminder of the serious gaps in IoT security. Researchers are finding security flaws with connected gadgets more frequently and this brings to mind a phrase coined by Oleg Šelajev in 2016, “The ‘S’ in […]
IoT security – a more secure defence is needed
One attack in the world of connected internet of things (IoT) could be very fatal. It’s been a year since the Mirai Botnet attacks and security thinking still needs to be focused on designing IoT endpoints and routers to prevent the next attack. As we put IoT infrastructure in place, a defence and in-depth strategy […]
Most IoT developers aren’t in it for the money
Developers aren’t necessarily like you and me. You may choose to spend your free time making bird houses or watching Friends reruns. Developers, meanwhile, are trying to get Windows 95 to run on an Apple Watch (and succeeding). This need to tinker is especially pronounced within the IoT developer set. According to new research from VisionMobile, […]
Consumer IoT channels continue to struggle
Many people recognize that the IoT is not actually new. For years, industries have become increasingly sophisticated in the way they collect and use data from systems and devices. In the B2B space, the IoT market is already well advanced. The majority of new commercial buildings are ‘smart’; systems are connected to make buildings safer, […]
