IoT Security: Does It Really Exist?

Arrow Bandwidth

Why is IoT security such a thorny topic? To be frank, it’s because it doesn’t comprehensively exist – it’s too much of an afterthought. Everyone says, “We have IoT security” …until things gets a little more complex. How are you going to protect something that’s in someone’s house if it’s connected to their WiFi network? What kind of device behavior do you want to keep an eye on? You can secure these things all the way to the edge, but how? And how can we bring new and emerging tech into the enterprise? We answer these questions and more in this special edition of Arrow Bandwidth live from the Arrow Vision event held on May 8, 2019, in London.
