Internet of Things and types of security challenges
To emphasize the fact that the technology is continuously changing and to prepare the employees for new technology, the organization brought in an expert to discuss the Internet of Things and future types of security challenges.
The Internet of Things means bringing a wide range of machines and devices online, which can be beneficial to automation and business intelligence, but only if a large amount of transmitted data can be analyzed, stored and utilized for new markets and business modules. Instead of patching together just pieces of technology devices, the organization will focus on creating applications to standardize the use of data. For organizations, the Internet of Things has the potential to provide solutions to improve decision making, efficiency, and enhanced productivity. For consumers, the Internet of Things will bring solutions to improve mobility, energy efficiency, education and many other aspects of daily life. Not a single technology provider can enable the Internet of Things. It must be a collaboration of enterprises that brings together a range of expertise and abilities to create the Internet of Things. The base components are processors, operating software, security software. Systems integrators are turning those components into solutions using applications and data analysis software.
With this new technology, new internet security threats will challenge the experts. The increasing volume of data transmitted and stored over the internet will become an appealing target for hackers. According to Bommelaer de Leusse “The underlying issue is that many businesses’ first priority is to collect data, not secure it.”, which makes you think that cyber security is still a back-burner topic for most organizations. The risk of exposing sensitive data to the unauthorized end user come with adopting the new Internet of Things technology. According to Bommelaer de Leusse “Lack of end-to-end encryption, and as in some cases neglecting to encrypt stored data, are just some of the factors that exacerbate the problem, and the impact of a data breach on the users.” Many types of attacks that are seen today will continue to challenge the internet security. Reign of ransomware, big data breaches, malware in the cloud, spam, phishing, social engineering and distributed denial of service attacks are just some of the tools used by intruders today to get access to sensitive data. A variety of mixing and sophisticated attacks will be seen in the future due to the growing technology.
