Why we need to secure IoT connections sooner than later
2020-03-30 04:30

In this podcast, Mike Nelson, Vice President of IoT Security at DigiCert, talks about the growing insecurity of IoT devices and what we should do about it.

We read a lot about bad password practices, and hard-coded credentials, and hackers being able to gain access because they go in and they are able to discover the password and the user manuals of IoT - IoT instruction manuals.

So what do you do? The starting point, I'm asked all the time: "So where do we start? What do we need to do as we venture down the path of IoT security?" I think public key infrastructure and the use of digital certificates is really the right starting point for good IoT security.

Penetration testing is a very important element of secure IoT development.

I say laughingly that every IoT deployment is just another unique IoT deployment.
