"Thingularity" - I like this buzzword and it makes sense to me.c

While we are getting carried away by the marketing buzz of IoT, someone is asking the right question.

How do we patch all these IoT stuff. I don't expect the manufacturers to something unless consumers ask for it.

According to the article:- 

It is what, some technology pundits describe the current rush to connect everything to the Internet -- is that we lack a way to keep billions of consumer devices updated with the latest security patches or firmware.

ATM manufacturer NCR says that of the world's 2.2 million ATMs, 95% still run an embedded version of Windows XP

Even vendors that make information security products haven't solved the challenge of keeping Internet-connected consumer devices up-to-date. Researchers at security firm Tripwire, for example, recently studied the 50 top-selling routers on Amazon and found that at least 74% were vulnerable to previously disclosed attacks, or bugs the researchers found with scant effort

In a separate study, Tripwire found that 68% of surveyed consumers didn't know how to update their wireless router's firmware. Fast forward: What happens when they're faced with critical updates for their baby monitors, webcams, door locks, and home automation systems? 

Thanks to widespread code reuse, furthermore, when vulnerabilities get found in one manufacturer's device, the same bugs often are present in similar types of devices built by their competitors, meaning all of them would need to be patched, and quickly.

Intrusion Deception - Sounds like a nice catchy sales buzz word(s).

Traditional security solutions seek to detect Malware at the point of initial infection, which is largely ineffective for detecting zero-day attacks

Argon Secure is designed to address the current gap in security solutions by identifying advanced Malware both at, and after, the point of initial infection when it attempts to propagate, find valuable data and exfiltrate that data from the network.

The solution will include more than 50 deception techniques embedded in the network infrastructure to force malware to expose itself even after entering a network. For example, malware once installed will start scanning the internal network in search of files that look useful. This action provides an opportunity to detect an attacker in the enterprise by creating a fake network process that emulates network share drives so when malware touches the files, Argon Secure can instantly identify them and push fake files.
