Linda Gray Martin and Britta Glade, organizers of the three-day RSA APJ Conference that starts July 15, describe their efforts to create a virtual event to replace the usual gathering and provide an overview of educational content.
With more than 1,000 IoT security guidelines, recommendations and best practices, which ones should an organization follow? Researchers at Carleton University in Canada say 91 percent of the guides are outcome-based, which are not necessarily easy for manufacturers to follow.
Voice-controlled assistants can be fooled by replaying a recording of someone's voice. But researchers with Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization and Samsung Research say they've developed a lightweight software tool to detect such attempts, which are difficult to defend against.
The internet of things (IoT) is exploding, and enterprise IoT is seeing massive growth as well. Every modern organization is using IoT devices to help run their business. Although IoT opens the door to unprecedented connectivity as well as innovative approaches and services, it also brings with it new cybersecurity...
Japan has been scanning its entire IPv4 address space to find insecure home routers, web cameras and sensors. The results are encouraging, and the country's program could serve as a model for other nations aiming to avoid large-scale IoT security problems.
IoT devices can be made cheaply and quickly. But as a result, they may lack adequate security features. The Atlantic Council is proposing regulations that would require technology retailers to sell devices that meet security standards, which would, in turn, put pressure on IoT component makers.
This edition of the ISMG Security Report analyzes whether IoT devices will outlive their security updates. Also featured: Why security spending needs to shift further upstream; could banks be custodians of identity?
Threat actors use botnets - networks of infected computers - for various cybercriminal purposes, most significantly distributed denial of service attacks against predefined targets. Today, botnets with distributed denial of services (DDoS) capabilities are even for sale on the Dark Web.
How has this threat...
Without labelling or standards, consumers and enterprises face challenges when buying IoT devices. Brad Ree of the ioXt Alliance describes work underway to harmonize the security environment.
Integrating IoT devices into OT systems brings a raft of security concerns. Microsoft's acquisition of CyberX, which offers a specialized IoT/OT security platform, may give some organizations more confidence to tackle what can be a messy business of securing and monitoring IoT controls across a network.
If you've managed to equip your home with smart devices and appliances that work properly, you probably think you're all set. But there are no regulations around how long manufacturers must provide security updates, which could mean a smart device could become a risk.
An Australian IoT alliance is developing a certification program designed to raise security standards for connected device manufacturers and give consumers more confidence that they're buying secure devices. The program, slated to start in September, could expand globally.
Time for another internet of things update nightmare: Researchers have found that a little-known but widely used TCP/IP software library built into millions of internet-connected devices has 19 flaws that need fixing. Developer Treck has issued fixes, but how many vulnerable devices will end up patched?
The Trump administration's continued press against China snared an unintended victim: America's own influence over 5G standards development. But the U.S. Commerce Department says a new rule will free U.S. firms to work with any company, including China's Huawei, on developing new telecommunications standards.
How many unmanaged and IoT devices are connected to your network today? How has this number - and your visibility - changed since you deployed a remote workforce? Do you have a shadow IoT problem? What are the top IoT device security issues you should be aware of? In this webinar, Ordr CSO Jeff Horne reviews key...
