Minimizing cyber threats via testing and evaluation
Few connected products have gone through independent testing and evaluations that could head off security problems during their use. Wayne Stewart, Cyber Security, Canada • Intertek It has become a truism that cyber security is one of the most significant risks for manufacturers today. These risks have the potential to cause a great deal of […]
From the lab to the real-world: DPA attacks in the wild
State-of-the-art countermeasures help make IoT products bullet-proof to ever-improving power analysis attacks. Marius Munder • Silicon Labs There’s a growing focus on security among manufacturers of IoT products, driven in part by how high-profile attacks affect buyer behavior. When an attack or data breach makes headlines, regardless of its actual severity, consumer confidence erodes, and […]
Worst suspicions confirmed: The terrible security of internet routers
Leland Teschler, Executive Editor Here’s the latest IoT security nightmare: All of the wireless routers through which most IoT traffic passes are probably vulnerable to botnets and other kinds of security breaches. That’s the conclusion of researchers at Fraunhofer FKIE in Germany who analyzed 127 different routers sold by seven vendors. The routers they examined […]
