More than half of all internet of things devices are vulnerable to medium- or high-severity attacks, meaning that enterprises are sitting on a "Ticking IoT time bomb," according to Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 research team.
One big takeaway for me is that you found that more than half of IoT devices are vulnerable to medium- or high-severity attacks, making IoT the low-hanging fruit for attackers.
We do see, because of special characteristics of these IoT devices, we do see the security of IoT devices is very important, not only because, if these devices are compromised, the data, the privacy will be affected.
MW: Yeah, with the increasing amount of IoT devices deployed, now IoT devices are around us, all over the place.
As increasing amount of IoT devices are being being deployed, we'll for sure, see more security issues among all these IoT devices.
