Description

In this episode of Cyber Security Inside, Tom and Camille get into the logistics of securing connected devices and systems that exist outside of a firewall. To get the latest on preventing tampering at the edge, they tap into the experience and insight of Eran Fine, CEO and co-founder of NanoLock Security, a groundbreaking cyber security company. Don’t miss it! Here are some key take-aways: • The challenge with securing edge devices and preventing adversaries from changing the parameters is that many of these devices are low in energy and computational power, and using a low-end operating system. • In the world of connected devices and IoT, threats and adversaries can come in various shapes and forms. • Things like smart meters have been manipulated for fraud and theft. Many times these types of attacks go unnoticed by standard protection methods because they’re inside of the device or built into the performance of the device. • Many devices — IoT devices, PCs, servers, etc. — need routine updates. The key to ensuring the update sent over arrives without tampering isn’t encryption; it’s to give the update a specific signature. • You need to take a multi-layer approach to securing devices at the edge. You need to protect the backend, you need to protect the network, and you need to protect the devices. • The more powerful and open a device is, the more complicated protection becomes. • AI
