With the ‘Internet of Things’ (IoT) getting more and more pervasive, an increasing number of connected things around us collect, handle and control sensitive data. The hacking of IoT devices can affect privacy, cause a loss of physical and information security, and impact availability of services. Connected devices significantly increase the attack surface of systems and networks as they potentially provide hackers a local springboard into those systems. Mass-deployed connected devices have been used to mount distributed Denial of Service attacks. IoT devices face a hard security challenge as they face high attack exposure while having limited resources to protect themselves. This session will cover the tools and solutions provided by Rambus to help protect and harden resource constrained devices from network-based attacks.
