"New Report Outlines IoT Security Vulnerabilities"

A new Internet of Things (IoT) report released by consulting and research firm, Independent Security Evaluators (ISE), details the presence of IoT security vulnerabilities in 13 popular small office/home office (SOHO) routers and network-attached storage (NAS) devices. The study of these devices resulted in 125 CVEs (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). According to the report, all 13 devices that were examined in this research contained one or more web app vulnerabilities. The exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow attackers to compromise additional network devices, obtain sensitive information transmitted via devices, disable networks, and more. This article continues to discuss key findings of the IoT security report, the impact IoT security vulnerabilities, how these IoT weaknesses can be eliminated, what improvements have been made in IoT security, and the need for IoT device manufacturers to prioritize security.
