The present development pace would result in about 38.6 million IoT connected devices, still having a wide range of vulnerable features. This modern era of advancing technologies had brought about a wide range of cybersecurity solutions that can patch up vulnerabilities including scanning firmware. These solutions increase potential vulnerability in generating alerts. If further enables the software updates for further vulnerability problems. The most important approach is for vulnerable entry points this exposes energy weakness in IoT devices. The strengthens is ensured by adding new attack vectors with an energy new line of code and functionalities.
For instance, “Sweyn Tooth”, allows the hacker for obtaining the database of an Internet of Things device as well as stopping it from functioning by trespassing the vulnerabilities with the help of third-party code. For IoT devices, the risk also widens because the network to which the devices are connected can have loopholes and vulnerable entry points which expand then the choice of hacker penetration.
This patch code is the major functionality behind a cybersecurity strategy which enhances an endless game of catch up, which seems extremely dangerous, where mostly the hackers are one step ahead. But the question that arises is the scope of a traditionally relied vulnerability patching. This approach is an important part of a cybersecurity enterprise which helps decrease the number of entries that could be exploited by expert hackers.
Leveraging offensive knowledge to secure the Internet of Things devices
A house can be secured by installing a good quality alarm system, instead of constantly reinforcing the vulnerability of an open-door. the proper paramount is getting an IoT device cybersecurity right. The online surveillance system to provide proper monitoring for the sick and elderly, keep heart rate, modern transportation functions, and much more. This enhances the quality of life, health, and the economy.
The vulnerability patching approach is given importance instead of protecting IoT devices and networks. They would further analyze the various exploits by hackers and their methodological compatibility and further, they would also scrutinize their own open points of attacks as mentioned earlier.
