无论你是否准备好，物联网 (IoT) 已经到来。它不再只是一个流行术语，未来几年将继续以前所未有的速度增长，预计到 2020 年连接设备数量将超过 250 亿台。历史告诉我们，大多数快速增长的技术解决方案首先关注的是解决业务问题，而安全性则是事后才考虑的。不幸的是，物联网也遵循同样的趋势。大多数物联网设备、应用程序和基础设施在开发时没有考虑安全性，很可能成为黑客的目标。一些安全专家表示，针对物联网设备的重大网络攻击迫在眉睫。据联邦调查局称，犯罪分子可以访问家庭医疗保健中使用的未受保护的设备，例如用于收集和传输个人监测数据或定时配药的设备。一旦犯罪分子破坏了此类设备，他们就可以访问存储在设备上的任何个人或医疗信息，并有权更改控制药品分配机制或健康数据收集的编码。这可能会导致严重的健康问题和潜在的生命损失。组织准备好保护自己了吗？关键的脆弱点有哪些？公司可以采取多种措施来提高门槛。在本文中，我们将讨论背景、问题、容易被黑客攻击的潜在攻击媒介、保护策略等。
Ready or not, the Internet of things (IoT) is here. No longer just a buzz term, it'll continue to grow at an unprecedented pace over the next few years expecting to reach over 25 billion connected devices by 2020. History shows us that most fast growth technology solutions focus on solving business problems first and security is an afterthought. Unfortunately, IoT is following the same trend. Most IoT devices, apps, and infrastructure were developed without security in mind and are likely going to become targets of hackers. According to some security experts, major cyberattacks against the IoT devices are looming. According to the FBI, criminals can gain access to unprotected devices used in home health care, such as those used to collect and transmit personal monitoring data or time-dispensed medicines. Once criminals have breached such devices, they gain access to any personal or medical information stored on the devices, as well as the power to change the coding that controls the dispense mechanism of medicines or health data collection. This can result in major health issues and potential loss of lives. Are organizations ready to protect themselves? What are the key vulnerable points? There are various steps that companies can take to raise the barrier. In this article, we'll talk about the background, issues, potential attack vectors liable to be hacked, protection strategies, and more.
