The IoT Threat Landscape and Top Smart Home Vulnerabilities in 2018

July 30, 2018

The IoT market has been booming in the past two years, impacting both consumers and businesses across sectors worldwide. Even though the technology has been widely adopted with great enthusiasm, a thorough security pattern still hasn’t been properly discussed to ensure its further growth in an increasingly sophisticated threat landscape. Following large-scale cyberattacks launched through exploited IoT botnets in the past two years, IoT risk awareness has slightly increased, yet smart devices are still vulnerable. One major cause is that manufacturers rush to deliver innovative gadgets that catch the eye of the consumer, but completely disregard end-to-end encryption.
