Where's your data going? It was a huge pleasure to welcome Anna Maria Mandalari at TII last week for a new session of our AI Seminar regarding prioritising security and privacy in IoT networks. These are my key takeaways: - IoT devices can easily use their many sensors to spy on us in our privacy and share information with third parties without us knowing. - Smart TVs come with ACR (Automated Content Recognition) that shares screenshots of what they are displaying, even if you are connecting say your corporate laptop via HDMI—oops! You can disable ACR in your smart TV configuration. - Most IoT safeguards that claim to detect attacks on IoT devices do not actually work as expected. - IoT trimmers can help filter only the required traffic to and from IoT devices to ensure only the essential functionalities are active. - We might be able to train ML models to detect attacks on an IoT device based on its real-time activity. - Regulation on IoT devices is very hard to enforce, as manufacturers can setup configurations to achieve the appropriate certifications yet update them from the distance once installed in your network. - Very few vendors have responded positively when security concerns about their devices have been raised. Cyber security is definitely worth looking into, but even more so when considering IoT networks. You are probably more exposed than you think. #IoTSecurity #IoT #CyberSecurity #TII #RaisingAwareness
