Why are IoT devices so difficult to secure?
Reference from Fortinet, What Is IoT Security? Challenges And Requirements, Why are IoT devices so difficult to secure? IoT security is about protecting IoT devices and the networks they connect to from cyberattacks. Many IoT devices do have security features such as encryption, authentication, secure boot, and signed firmware. However, the level of security can be very different from one device to another, and some security features may not be properly implemented. Some IoT devices may use weak or poorly configured encryption. Limited device resources and poor security practices can also make it harder to properly protect these devices. While normal cybersecurity tools can monitor IoT devices, they may have difficulty understanding the behaviour of different IoT devices, protocols, and large IoT networks. Here are some important IoT security challenges: Weak authentication and authorization IoT devices may use weak passwords or authentication methods, making them easier to access...
