Unlike a web server, which is placed in a physical secure hosting centre, an IoT device could be on a streetlight, in a field, in a garden or on the wall of a house. The risk of physical attack on IoT devices is higher even than for mobile phones, which a user tends to keep close to themselves at all times.
There is much talk of security issues arising in Internet of Things (IoT) systems, and for good reason. IoT devices provide a whole array of new attacks that are, generally, poorly understood and so, of course, weakly protected against.
Did you know that the standard router relied upon in homes and by thousands of small businesses is the most frequently attacked IoT device?
Almost all consumer networking devices and a majority of IOT devices support local HTTP/S connections for management. This browser based interface is the typical default mechanism for managing, configuring and provisioning the device. The instructions in the user guides will give the user instructions to connect to the devices over http://192.168.0.1 or similar.
The ManySecured Workshop was a lively and interactive, in person, event at the Caledonian Club in London on the 17th of May.
The ManySecured Project focuses on Cognitive Security applied to Gateways and IoT devices
What are your IoT devices doing in your home? – Our manysecured project highlights that webcams, Alexas and lighting systems are connected to your router.
The Internet of Things Security Foundation (IoTSF) and ManySecured Special Interest Group (SIG) is working to outline high level solutions to a design flaw/problem that creates router and IoT vulnerabilities.
Highlights a fundamental design flaw that has received little attention to date and yet affects many IoT devices and standard Internet routers and outlines potential solutions.
We examine in detail what a shared description of device types looks like; look at interoperable mechanisms for IoT network monitoring and control and demonstrate how we bring these capabilities together to provide scalable methods of active defence, which embraces both new business models and fully integrated AI systems.
