IoT Security from Flash Networks

 
IoT security, also known as Internet of Things security, plays a crucial role in protecting connected devices and networks within the IoT realm.
 
With IoT, internet connectivity is integrated into a wide range of interconnected computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals, and even people. Each entity possesses a distinct identifier and has the capability to seamlessly transfer data over a network.
 
However, without proper security measures, connecting these devices to the internet exposes them to significant vulnerabilities. Securing IoT devices is a major cybersecurity challenge due to the potential for DDoS attacks using botnets.

DNS Threats

The value of IoT technology lies in its ability to connect devices, gather data, and make decisions based on analysis. However, the current naming system used for device connections, known as DNS, is outdated and unreliable for the scale, traffic, and security demands of today's IoT.
