Cisco: IoT Vulnerabilities Require AI to Fight Cyber ​​Attackers

[rakhirhif8963]

According to Cisco, among professionals using the Internet of Things (IoT) in production process management, no more than 8% ignore the risks from the IoT, but even this group of specialists, as Cisco believes, will change their attitude immediately after the first successful cyberattacks on their systems.

The overwhelming majority of other manufacturers (92%) intend to pay increasingly serious attention to ensuring the information security of their systems. On the one hand, they understand that it is impossible to leave production management systems without connecting to IP networks today - this deprives users of the opportunity to effectively interact with analytical systems, and therefore quickly adapt to changing conditions of production processes. On the other hand, they realize that such a connection greatly increases the area for cyber attacks.

However, about 44% of information security events at enterprises fall outside the scope of attention of corporate information security specialists, and out of 56% (only) of the information security events studied, 34% were actually false positives, but no measures were taken for about half of them.

The reason is simple: corporate information france mobile database services lack the resources and qualifications to adequately analyze information security events and respond. Even outsourcing information security does not help, since information security service providers themselves experience a shortage of qualified specialists.

Following last year's DDoS attacks, built on the mass inclusion of video surveillance cameras in their botnets by attackers, this year has turned out to be notable for the involvement of refrigerators and televisions in botnets. The situation with the use of IoT devices for malicious purposes, according to Michael Kader, an honored systems engineer at Cisco, is only getting worse because the developers of IoT devices are primarily concerned with the high consumer properties of these devices, which do not yet include security.
