IoT older devices are more venerable to cyber attacks

This year’s Kaspersky conference was held in Cancun, Mexico and one theme that was constantly resonated during the conference was the reminder of the serious gaps in IoT security. Researchers are finding security flaws with connected gadgets more frequently and this brings to mind a phrase coined by Oleg Šelajev in 2016, “The ‘S’ in IoT stands for security” of course we are all aware that there is no ‘S’ in IoT. As more homes and businesses purchase more connected devices to make life easier for themselves the issue of security still looms over our head.
