By letting the IoT devices into our everyday life, it is not like we entered the zoo, but we released the animals into our world.

We have the technical sophistication of Tinker Toy’s protecting the IoT microcosms of America’s health sector organizations.

America’s treasure troves of public and private data, IP, and critical infrastructure continues to be pilfered, annihilated, and disrupted, while an organizational culture of ‘Participation Trophy Winners” managed by tech neophyte executives continue to lose one battle after the next.

Thing in Everything

Security by design is a mandatory prerequisite to securing the IoT macrocosm, the Dyn attack was just a practice run

I don’t care how secure you think your organization is, I’ll social engineer my way inside in less than 24 hours regardless of the sophistication of your IoT microcosm security. Whatever obstacles I run into exploiting your technical vulnerabilities will be made up for by exploiting the vulnerabilities in the cyber hygiene of your staff.

Most IoT devices that lack security by design simply pass the security responsibility to the consumer, thus, treating the customers as techno-crash test dummies.James Scott, Senior Fellow, Institute for Critical Infrastructure Technology
