Security in IoT is the act of securing Internet devices and the networks they’re connected to from threats and breaches by protecting, identifying, and monitoring risks all while helping fix vulnerabilities from a range of devices that can pose security risks to your business.
There have already been lots of cases of IoT devices being hacked when criminals have searched for IoT security vulnerabilities and been successful. Some businesses have even had their industrial robots hacked as well as equipment connected to them. The reason is that hackers are able to alter control-loop parameters, tamper with production logic, and alter the robot’s state, and much more. A group of researchers decided to demonstrate how much damage a hacked robot can actually do. They found vulnerabilities in the robotic arm’s system and were able to program the robot to cause millions of dollars’ worth of damage to the products it was manufacturing.
IoT security wasn’t really taken seriously until recently after many hacking attacks resulted in catastrophic consequences. Since IoT security vulnerabilities are like a welcome sign to hackers, many IoT security measures are now being taken to close security holes and prevent security breaches at the device level, nipping the problem in the bud before it has time to wreak havoc. Here are some IoT security best practices businesses can adopt to protect their devices :
1. Change default passwords.
2. Make sure the software is protected.
3. Defend against IoT identity spoofing.
4. Use encrypted protocols.
