"Consumer IoT Devices Are Compromising Enterprise Networks"

The number of consumer Internet of Things (IoT) devices connected to enterprise networks has increased significantly. According to the 2019 IoT Threats Report, which highlights findings of a study conducted by researchers at Zscaler ThreatLabZ, many IoT data transactions conducted within the enterprise network are poorly encrypted. The top four IoT devices found in these business environments include set-up boxes, smart TVs, smart watches, and media players. This study brings further attention to the security challenges associated with a BYOD (bring your own device) environment. This article continues to discuss findings of the study in relation to the connection of consumer-grade IoT devices to enterprise networks, the security risks posed by this connection, and security challenges faced by organizations with BYOD environments.
