Security News > 2021 > October > Critical infrastructure IoT security: Going back to basics
Is the IoT technology that powers critical infrastructure really that vulnerable and what can be done to mitigate the risks?
It is unsurprising that the vulnerability of IoT and the critical infrastructure landscape as a whole to cyberattacks is becoming a growing concern within the security landscape and recent attacks on the sector have proven the need to ramp up security efforts.
These threats have the potential to shut the infrastructure down, cause a disaster, or a myriad of consequences once IoT in critical infrastructure has been compromised, at scale.
What does it mean for organizations to go back to basics to bolster their security posture? Does this apply to critical infrastructure too?
What will the future of critical infrastructure IoT look like? Do you predict many changes impacting this technology?
With the right security foundation in place, critical infrastructure organizations can protect themselves against the inevitable risk of attack while continuing to evolve their operations.
