Industry attention has narrowed in on the threat of commonly known IoT devices and their potential safety implications to the home, but there is as much - if not more - to consider when exploring IoT threats in the enterprise.
Research into seven common enterprise IoT devices revealed that their core technologies,...
A Field Guide to Understanding IoT Attacks from the Mirai Botnet to Its Modern Variants
The infamous Mirai IoT botnet was responsible for some of the largest and most distributive DDoS attacks in recent history. Commanding hundreds of thousands of IoT devices, it sent shock waves through the security marketplace...
Smart cities contain IT, OT and IIOT environments at different scales, which are dependent on each other at variant degrees, but not managed centrally. The Global Cyber Alliance will explore the systemic risk and legal/compliance challenges that come with securing smart city initiatives and how they can be addressed....
The security operations center (SOC) faces mountain challenges: lack of personnel, disparate security tools, multiple alerts that must be run down, prioritization of alerts and the transition between incident detection and incident response.
Security affects and is affected by operational and IT considerations....
Visibility and control of endpoint devices are critical to securely manage your workloads in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) environment.

Smart buildings utilize a wide range of technology - everything from fire alarms to thermostats to CCTV cameras. Traditionally, all these technologies have been separated by the types of cables and management station, but now with advances in IoT, many of these technologies have converged onto the corporate network....
Smartphones present a uniquely large attack surface that has been repeatedly exploited by threat actors, making it risky to trust these devices with important data. Inherent limitations in the mobile architectures of
these devices - especially in a world of chip-based attacks - mean that organizations must find new...
Smartphone cameras and microphones act as the eyes and ears of the digital age, capable of capturing the smallest audio and visual details in high-definition clarity. Unfortunately, threat actors have demonstrated the ability to hijack these smartphone components, using them to gain valuable insights about targeted...
