WHITEPAPER
Cameras. Badge Printers. Smart Displays. Sensors. Thermostats. All Vulnerable. Now What?
Who wants anyone cracking into their internet of things (IoT) to steal their private data? No one, right?!? Because so many devices are connected, the possibility that an adversary will try to exploit these weaknesses is likely. However, ensuring the security of these endpoints is nearly impossible without knowing which devices are connected and tracking their activities. Get embedded devices into your vulnerability management program with these techniques.
