Securing devices for the IoT – firmware, software, and OTA
Over-the-air (OTA) updating of firmware and software on Internet of Things (IoT) devices is a requirement, not an option. The large number of IoT devices makes manual updates impractical and even dangerous. This FAQ reviews two key tools for managing and implementing OTA for IoT devices: open-source standards for managing resource-constrained devices and industry standards […]
Securing devices for the IoT — minimize the attack surface
An attack surface is the sum of all the attack vectors or ways that an attacker can gain malicious access to a network or system. The growth in remote work and the adoption of cloud services have increased the number of attack vectors and the size of the attack surface for most organizations and applications. […]
