Safe in the Internet of Things with the IoT Inspector

[bhasan01854]

The Internet of Things (IoT) is growing steadily, whether in the private sphere or in the company . However, with the large number of networked devices, the security risks and the attack surface for cyber attacks are also increasing .

The "IoT Inspector" from TÜV Hessen can help companies in a simple way. Björn Eibich explains in the current podcast episode how this works and how the purchasing department, for example, is supported.

From smart lightbulbs at home or digital assistants to belarus gambling data voice-over-IP phones and building automation: the number of devices connected to the Internet of Things (IoT) is constantly growing. Often, you can't tell at first glance that the devices are plugging into the home or company network and connecting to the Internet.

Because it is precisely here that the overview is often lacking and, for example, factory-set passwords are often not changed, there are increasing risks to cyber security .

Björn Eibich, Head of Cyber ​​and Information Security at TÜV Hessen, explains how you can quickly and easily get a good overview of the IoT security risks in your own company using the example of the “IoT Inspector” and the associated IoT security services.

With this comprehensive service, TÜV Hessen enables companies to get the uncontrolled growth of their own IoT under control, to systematically record security risks and thus reduce the attack surface. The purchasing staff are also able to carry out a risk assessment of the devices to be purchased before they cause risks in the company.
