Recently, I was invited to deliver a talk at the Global IOT Conclave held at The Chancery Pavilion, Bangalore. The talk focussed on the Dark-Side of Internet of Things specific to Security & Privacy Challenges in IOT. Here’s the digest of the presentation.
- Why is everything getting Smart with the advent of IOT? Sensors or Cloud or M2M.
- IOT is bridging the gap between the Physical world & the Digital world and how Digital threats are becoming Physical threats?
- Top IOT Hacks: Chrysler's Jeep Cherokee, Mattel's Wi-fi Hello Barbie.
- Eavesdropping through microphones of Smart Dolls, Smart Teddy Bears & Smart TVs. What if the smart doll teaches offensive things to your kid.
- Exploitable Smart Refrigerators, Smart Thermostats, Smart Insulin Pumps. How Smart TVs have been hacked & infected by malware for automated Ad Clicks and Cryptocurrency mining.
- IOT Ransomeware is now reality. How much someone would be willing to pay to remove ransomware from a Smart Pacemaker?
- Denial of Service (DOS) attacks on & through IOT devices. How hackers can turn a Smart Fridge into a spam-bot?
- Why can't we make smart devices smart enough to be secure? The IOT Security Challenges: Resource Constraints, STRIDE Threat vectors.
- Security vs Privacy vs Anonymity. Importance of Trust in IOT Privacy.
- Security by Obscurity vs Security by Design: Proprietary protocols, indigenous hardware & air-gapped networks.
- Security can not be an afterthought. It has to considered & implemented in all of stages of IOT Business: Planning, Design, Implementation, Verification, Validation, Deployment & Operations.
- IOT Business Model needs to change. Earlier we used to Build product, Ship them & forget about them until we had to Service them, but now we have to Ship & Remember.
