Re: Security and "The Internet of things"

Rahul and Mike,

Thanks for the comments. I agree in principle with both of you. Mike - your assessment about these "silicon cockroaches" all being somewhat dissimilar in their CPU, OS and memory footprint and therefore the ability to have a "one size fits all" security posture is somewhat simplistic. I would even extend the argument to say that some of these devices are more "critical" to our collective health than others and therefore deserve more attention aka health monitoring devices versus a web enabled smart refrigerator.

The point you raised about the traditional enterprise security arsenal of DDoS protection, firewalls, IDP etc. would now be increasingly relevant in this disaggregated connected devices and the propensity for a collection of these devices for instance to launch a DDoS attack could be staggering indeed !
