| Titre | IoT Cybersecurity Act successfully signed into law |
| Texte | This blog was written by an independent guest blogger. The IoT Cybersecurity Act, which aims to reduce the supply chain risk to the federal government arising from vulnerable IoT devices, was recently passed into law, and its effects are expected to carry over into private enterprise. Critics felt the law was long overdue: as found in the Nokia Threat Intelligence Report 2020, IoT devices are now responsible for 32.72% of all infections observed in mobile networks, representing an increase of 16.55% since 2019 alone. What threats can the rapid proliferation of IoT devices cause, and how is the new law dealing with them? 2020: A year of unprecedented cyber attacks 2020 has demonstrated the extent to which cyber criminals can quickly take advantage of major changes and crises taking place in the world. In a recent report, Fortinet warns that the introduction of edge devices will provide attackers with even more opportunity to wreak havoc via advanced threats. Over the past few years, traditional networks have been replaced with multiple-edge environments, IoT, WAN, remote center, and more. Fortinet adds that “while all of these edges are interconnected many organizations have sacrificed centralized visibility and unified control in favor of performance and digital transformation.” Cyber criminals will be harnessing the speed and scale that 5G will enable to target these environments at a more profound level. Main threats to security posed by connectivity Some of the biggest threats to cyber security include trojans seeking to target the edge, edge-enabled swarm attacks, smarter social engineering, and the possibility of ransoming OT edges. In the case of everyday users, the practical implications are endless. For instance, in the case of social engineering, attackers can use important contextual information about users’ daily routines and financial information to ransom, extort, and ca |
