The rapid proliferation of IoT devices introduces significant security risks that require CISOs and top corporate leaders to step up, reduce risks and align IoT security with mission-critical objectives.
The European Council on Thursday adopted security-by-design regulation that makes patching and vulnerability updates mandatory for connected devices. The regulation will ensure that "products with digital components are made secure throughout the supply chain and throughout their life cycle."
Amy Herzog, chief information security officer for Ads and Devices at Amazon, shares how her cybersecurity team accelerates product development by integrating security from the start to secure customer data on popular consumer devices such as Ring and Alexa.
The White House is proposing new regulations on connected vehicles that would prohibit manufacturers from importing software or hardware from the People's Republic of China and Russia, citing an ever-increasing threat landscape and heightened national security risks.
A Chinese state-sponsored botnet called Raptor Train has infected more than 260,000 IoT and office network devices to target critical infrastructure globally. The hackers used zero-days and known vulnerabilities to compromise more than 20 different types of devices to expand their botnet.
Secure communications in an age of network insecurity has focused mostly on encryption and fears of surveillance tracking. But as this week revealed to the dismay of terrorists and criminals alike, no OpSec measure is bulletproof to the effects of a corrupted supply chain.
FBI Director Christopher Wray said Wednesday the bureau seized control of a Chinese-developed botnet that maintained access to thousands of compromised devices across the globe as part of an effort to launch widespread disruptive cyberattacks. The botnet is a Mirai variant.
Centralized architecture in the automotive industry streamlines cybersecurity and supply chain operations by reducing hardware components and enabling quicker fixes. But that centralization also poses major cybersecurity challenges, said Thomas Sermpinis, technical director at Auxilium Pentest Labs.
Imagine cruising down a bike path and having the gears suddenly shift without warning. Security researchers say cybercriminals could take advantage of new wireless controlled bicycle gear systems to make that happen - and cause crashes and injuries.
