Internet of Things

The big challenge with IoT devices is that they are all different: Each manufacturer has its own firmware, uses different protocols, and designs its own architecture. So, the first step before carrying out any analysis is to understand the architecture, find out what components are involved, and how they interact and communicate among themselves.

The Internet of Things (IoT) can be a network of connected convenience but this should not come at the expense of safeguarding your privacy and the personal data that connected devices collect and share.

Smart TVs afford us the opportunity to use them for purposes that are more commonly associated with computers. In fact, that’s what these TVs have become – internet-connected ‘computers’, much like mobile phones. It would no doubt help if we thought of them as such and treated them accordingly.

It is not feasible, in fact not even possible, to replace all CPUs in all devices. It would be too costly, besides the success rate for unsoldering and resoldering pin-throughs in multi-layer boards will never be 100%.

The Internet of Stranger Things came to life in the recent case of a cuddly connected toy, raising wider and deeper questions about cybersecurity, privacy, and the future of digital technology.

Is your smart TV selling data about what you watch, without asking? As the US FTC goes after one TV maker, it may be time to check.

For years, IoT security seemed like solving a problem that didn’t exist. Not anymore says ESET's Cameron Camp, who was at this year's CES.

IoT attacks are on the rise. As the technology becomes more relevant to our lives, we take a look at what the state of play is.

Secure your router, says ESET's Lysa Myers. It can help protect all of your connected devices while they are in your home.
