Re: Tough One
@srufolo: Not to mention that, as secure in a vacuum as they may be compared to most (if not all) of their customers, cloud providers are much bigger and more attractive targets BECAUSE of that critical mass of data and access that they collect/have. It's rather the opposite of security by obscurity. It's "security" with a big red target on your back.
Re: This was a tough one.
@mhh: The problem, as with most consumer (and even non-consumer!) IoT devices, is that devices like ambient video cameras simply were not originally conceived with embedded devices/connectivity/IoT in mind. Therefore, manufacturers kind of flub their way through.
Re: This was a tough one.
@afwriter: Not to mention the notion of identity thieves picking up juicy tidbits of data.
And, of course, the inherent comforts of privacy in and of themselves.
Re: This was a tough one.
@afwriter: I'd have gone the opposite direction and said None of the above. Specifically, I'd have preferred to see an option on user education.
Lacking that, I shrugged and said platforms and devices.

@mhhf1ve - I've heard most security cameras are pretty easy to hack. But I don't know from experience so I couldn't say for sure. Any more there isn't much that seems to challenge hackers.

Re: This was a tough one.
@afwriter - there's that possibility too. In the end I suppose for us it's just worth the risk. There isn't anything overly valuable in my house anyway. So I've mused what a disappointment any burglars would be in for should they ever attempt it. Unless they were in the market for cheap toddler toys.... then my house could be just what they're looking for. Lol.

Tough One
This poll was really tough, but after much thought I checked off the NFV/SDN security need. Was surprised that "from cloud to customer endpoints" was not a higher percentage as that seems to be the sticking point for enterprises to migrate to the cloud -- security.

Re: This was a tough one.
I think you're right, it's so hard to choose because we just need more security overall. I would say that individual experience probably influences respondent's decisions too. For instance, if you have ever had a phone hacked you probably think that mobile security is the most important.

Re: This was a tough one.
@afwriter - Botnets are all the rage these days. An unsecured device, even as simple as a wifi router, can now become a part of a botnet with little to no indication of compromise.

Re: This was a tough one.
Hopefully, real security systems have better security than IoT webcams! But maybe not? One would think a big company like Equifax would have better security, too....
