Secure Your IoT Devices

• Device Management: Lack of management can lead to unauthorised access, device manipulation, or firmware tampering.
• Unsecure Network Services: Unencrypted communication, poor network security, and outdated software can be exploited by attackers.
• Weak or Hard-Coded Passwords: Some IoT developers use hard-coded credentials in device components. While this can make installation and remote access simpler, it also makes access easier for attackers.
• Default Settings: Default settings are insecure and make the device susceptible to basic exploits.

• Strong Password: Change the default password, use strong passwords, and use different passwords for your IoT devices.
• Network Segmentation: When practical, keep your IoT devices on a separate network.
• Regular Update: Enable automatic updates for security updates. Update the device when it reaches the end of life because security updates will no longer be available.
• Use MFA: Employ the use of multifactor authentication for your IoT devices to add an extra layer of security.
• Reputable Manufacturers: Choose a reputable manufacturer because they will follow industry standards to ensure their devices are secure. Check their track record and how quickly they attend to security vulnerabilities.
• Assess Device Operations: Devices not connected to the Internet are much less likely to be compromised. If not using features that require internet connectivity, keep your device disconnected from the Internet.
• Trend Micro IoT Security: Use Trend Micro IoT Security solutions to protect your endpoints.
