The Internet of Things (IoT) has brought billions of devices online—but why is security still a pressing issue?
The rapid growth of IoT has inadvertently created the largest attack surface in the history of computing. The exposed vulnerabilities in IoT devices, such as open services and network ports, have been identified as major contributors to recent security breaches. Hackers are increasingly able to exploit these weaknesses to gain remote access, turning connected devices into potential entry points for cyberattacks.
Despite this, very little has been done to counter ongoing threats and prevent the kinds of exploits that have given rise to "internet-killing" botnets. Mirai, for instance, leveraged these IoT vulnerabilities to take down a major DNS provider, disrupting millions of websites.
Our white paper tackles these critical issues head-on, presenting the concept of disconnecting IoT devices from public networks while keeping them fully operational. This approach addresses the root causes of IoT vulnerabilities, aiming to significantly reduce exposure and protect devices from being compromised.
We’re excited to share insights and strategies in this paper, highlighting how secure IoT environments are possible through innovations that prioritize both functionality and protection.
