The Internet of Things needs to be part of the overall corporate information security policy to prevent adversaries from using these devices as an entry point. There are several reasons why it’s critical for organizations to defend their IoT attack surface, most importantly being that IoT devices are powerful systems containing compute, storage, and networking that threat actors view as the easiest way to breach an organization or enable exploits.
An unpatched vulnerability in a popular C standard library found in a wide range of IoT products and routers could put millions of devices at risk of attack. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2022-05-02 and discovered by Nozomi Networks, is present in the domain name system (DNS) component of the library uClibc and its uClibc-ng fork from the OpenWRT team.
MQTT is a standard messaging protocol used for the Internet of Things (IoT) because it requires minimal resources and can be executed by small microcontrollers found in connected devices. IoT devices have a real need for this type of lightweight protocol because it guarantees fast and reliable communication with minimal hardware requirements, keeping power consumption and manufacturing costs low.
The IoT (Internet of Things) market is growing rapidly with increasing adoption of smart infrastructure to improve efficiency and countries initiating smart city projects. Today I’ll analyze Cisco Systems (CSCO), Zebra Technologies (ZBRA), and TE Connectivity (TEL), which are well-poised to benefit from this revolution. The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to connecting devices to the internet.
