Speaking of this for IoT, it is the security of the Internet of Things network, so we have to talk slowly. The Internet of Things is to connect a large number of devices together, allowing them to "communicate" with each other through the Internet, and it can be widely used in all walks of life. Smart homes, industrial monitoring, medical equipment, etc. are all running~
The key is, how can the Internet of Things achieve network security? One, the safety of the equipment itself must be taken seriously. Many IoT devices are too watery when designed and have insufficient security protection. We have to check whether this device has a strong authentication mechanism, and it is not too easy to crack if you want to log in. For example, some smart home devices can enter a simple password or simply use the default password to enter. This is not very worrying! Moreover, when manufacturing equipment, you must be careful about programming vulnerabilities and conduct comprehensive security testing.
Also, communication security is also urgent! IoT devices are everywhere transmitting data – transmitting from sensors to servers, and transmitting anything from servers. In this process, the data must be encrypted! What should you do if the data is stolen and cracked halfway? Now there are a lot of communication encryption methods for Cybersecurity for IoT. Let’s choose a reliable, easy-to-use and adaptable device method!
Next, let’s talk about the access control of the Internet of Things system . First of all, we have to determine who should have permissions, such as operators, operation and maintenance personnel, etc., determine the corresponding access level for each object, and limit access to the system and data, which can also reduce the possibility of malicious intrusion.
You also need to have an emergency response plan . If you encounter a safety crisis, you can’t wait! Just determine which failure happened immediately? How did the hacker get in? Then take measures as soon as possible to isolate the affected parts and repair them… Repair it well, let's reflect on it and check for the missing parts.
Let me mention the global procurement service for weak current intelligent products! This may be of some help to people who do related things. There are a few more questions to talk about here:
Q: When choosing an Internet of Things equipment, what should you consider security?
A: First of all, it is important to see if there is a security protocol, encryption, and the reputation of the manufacturer! Only manufacturers with good safety records are reliable.
Q: How safe is small businesses doing the Internet of Things by themselves
A: First of all, basic security measures must be implemented, such as regular patches and device encryption, as we said earlier; on the other hand, you can consider outsourcing to professional network security teams, which is easy to save trouble, or participate in industry forums and exchanges to learn some good security mechanisms for your reference.
If I think this is really complicated and complicated! But it’s always useful to have no way to be aware of safety step by step, what do you think?
