IoT AttackSurface
The IoT attack
surface is the sum total of all potential security vulnerabilities in IoT devices and associated software and
infrastructure in a given network, be it local or the entire Internet.
A thing, in the Internet of Things, can be any natural or
man-made object that can be assigned an IP address and provided with the
ability to transfer data over a network. A recent study from Hewlett
Packard concluded that 70 percent of IoT devices contain serious vulnerabilities.
Hackers and
government agencies can use vulnerabilities in IoT devices to gain access to a
network to monitor users and potentially gain access to any other connected
devices for any number of purposes. According to many security experts, our
dependence on Internet-connected technology is outpacing our ability to secure
it. Joshua Corman, a security strategist and the chief technology officer at
the software firm Sonatype, explains:
“You’re taking
things that weren’t connected and weren’t vulnerable and putting vulnerability
and connectivity on all of them. So if the Internet is a perfect surveillance
machine, what happens with the Internet of Things? It’s just gonna take that to
the next order of magnitude.”
Concerned about
the dangers posed by the rapidly growing IoT attack surface, the FBI released a public
service announcement, FBI Alert Number I-091015-PSA:
“Internet of Things poses opportunities for cyber crime.” The PSA warns
about potential vulnerabilities and advocates protective measures that should be
taken to mitigate risk associated with them.
