Most common problem in IT Security are People ( phishing,misconfiguration) , 3rd party risk (too many, complex,visibility issues issues) and IoT. I thought IoT should be comparatively easier but, it seems we are still ignoring it.



Although things like smartphones and desktop computers are often top of mind when it comes to security, it’s often the printer, camera, or decoder that leaves a door open for a hacker to exploit.

In multiple cases, Microsoft saw Fancy Bear get access to targeted networks because the IoT devices were deployed with default passwords. In another case, the latest security update was not applied. Using those devices as a starting point, the hackers established a beachhead and looked for further access.
