Re: Vodadone IOT Security
it is an example of Good Government at work--but to your implicit point, we should not wait for one month--vigiliance is a 24-hr/7-day a week job for each and everyone of us--it is imperative that we all do our part!!!

Re: Vodadone IOT Security
I would recommend that you seek out advise on it to avoid any issues--it is vital to be safe than sorry especially in light of the guidance form IC3.

Re: Vodadone IOT Security
@elizabethv after the New York Department of Current Affairs issued a "Consumer Alert" regarding hacked wi-fi baby monitors, someone set out to find which would be safe and wrote this: https://kidsaversnetwork.com/newborn/which-baby-monitor-is-safe/ Nothing is hack-proof, though it identifies which are your best bets.

Re: Vodadone IOT Security
@afwriter - exactly, I never even thought about the Owlet until looking at the post. It seemed so innocuous that it never even occurred to me, even while the entire time I was thinking about the video cameras in their bedrooms. I would almost think the Owlet would be easier to hack into. A review of their website doesn't even have the potential issue addressed, so I'm guessing there aren't many people even considering the possibility.

Re: Vodadone IOT Security
@Ariella - that's awesome! Actually, that whole website is awesome. I want to check out almost every single list on there. I'm also really glad to see some agencies taking the possibility of hacking through baby monitors seriously. Hopefully in time, the weak links will be fixed. By then though I doubt I'll have a need for baby monitiors in my house anymore. Lol.

Re: Vodadone IOT Security
@elizabethv True, progress can take time, but it may be reassuring to think that the problem may be solved in time for the monitors your children use for your grandchildren. I'm glad you like the site.

Re: Vodadone IOT Security
@elizabethv Equifax disgusts me. It's not "recovering" from anything as nothing can really touch this organization. It's been doing what it does for years without any guilt with all their inaccurate reporting that has destroyed people's lives. Why would it care about a breach?

Vodafone's Skpper on State of IoT Security
Interesting article. You would think the companies with more IoT connections would be most worried about security. Seven percent of those concerned about security was surprisingly low. Guess the bigger you get, the more savvy about implementing effective measures to prevent breaches.

Security
I am glad the Vodafone views security as a top priority. Moving towards IoT adds even complexity to securing data in an enterprise. Companies that use IoT will have to make security as top priority.

IoT Security
IoT security will cause an increase in operating costs. However, the upfront costs are much cheaper than the backend costs due to a data breach or other security attack.
Security policies, procedures, plans, and audits are also needed in addition to security tools for IoT.
