Did you know that according to the latest research, IoT attacks increased 600% between 2016 and 2017? It is now such a threat that the FBI issued an alert this summer warning the public that cyber actors are actively searching for vulnerable IoT devices to use as proxies, to route malicious traffic for a cyber-attack, and for computer network exploitation.
With Smart Cities, Smart Government, IT/OT convergence and pretty much connected-everything, organizations are faced with the challenge of securing IoT devices – which lack embedded security – in a way that is effective yet – not too expensive or too complex to manage.
Join Bob Laliberte, Sr. Analyst & Practice Director from ESG and Mike Leibovitz, Sr. Director of Product Management from Extreme Networks to learn more about this threat and practical steps organizations can take to protect themselves.
Specifically, attendees will learn:
- Why IoT is the next attack vector for cybercriminals
- Why it’s your wired devices that might need extra protection
- Key recommendations on how to go about securing IoT devices
- Why IoT device segmentation simply must be part of your security plans
- Solutions from Extreme Networks on how to address this growing concern
