Please join Capito with Barracuda to learn how best to structure your security measures to mitigate internal and external IoT attacks.

A large number of IoT (internet of things) security incidents at well-known companies in recent years have clearly shown that we cannot sit back and relax. While the world and the way we work have changed massively, reinforcing existing trends, it is clear that the attack surface of our IT and OT (operational technology) systems has continued to grow.

The increasing automation and digitization along the entire supply chain also shows that, in the worst case, individual vulnerable systems can also paralyze large companies for weeks. Since this is a very lucrative business model for criminal organizations, we should not assume it will end any time soon.

Most organisations have physical objects connected to the internet that are able to collect and exchange data using embedded sensors, etc. These could leave your network vulnerable to attack. Some examples include a CT scanner in the NHS, robotic arms in the manufacturing industry, wind turbines in the energy industry, flow meters in the oil and gas industry, or tracking devices in the transportation industry.
