Many people surf the Internet as part of their work activities, others visit a wide range of pages to stay fully informed of the news in the world, perhaps simply to complement their educational training or to entertain themselves during leisure hours.

INTERNET SECURITY IN IoT

-

In recent years, the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) has been increasing worldwide, so it is necessary to reflect on the risks and opportunities of these new technologies, in addition to analyzing why the industry is like this as the users themselves, we become aware of the need for these practices.

Internet security in IoT
In this document they seek to coordinate the possible standardizations that are so well needed within this growing industry (IoT). The document begins with a definition about IoT made up of two concepts:

The IoT components are connected by a network that provides a relationship between them (using or not TCP / IP).

Some of its components are sensors or actuators that allow it to interact with the physical world.

The larger universe is known as an IoT environment that interacts with the IoT system, which in turn is made up of one or more components that interact with the physical world.

·       Cybersecurity and IoT areas are defined as:

·       Cryptographic techniques (Encryption, Digital Signature)

·       Cybersecurity incident management

·       Hardware assurance Identity and Access Management

·       Information security management systems

·       Security evaluations in IT systems

·       Network Security Automation and continuous monitoring

·       Software Assurance

·       Risk management in the supply chain

·       Systems Security Engineering.

Where there is the greatest need according to the document is in the security evaluation of IT systems, and Security in Telecommunication Networks, in the other areas there are standards although the implementation can be very slow or with little penetration in the industry. This document establishes the status within the IoT security industry, and is a great administrative advance, after the standardization comes a long phase of implementation within companies, devices that comply with UL 2900 (ANSI Standard) same as in accordance UL is about to be published and approved by the SCC of Canada for implementation, which are certified by the ZWave Alliance or by ICSA Labs.

One form of standardization is the creation of reference frameworks for IoT, and IoT Security, let's see an example of each: for the first case we have a reference framework from the Online Trust Alliance, known as the IoT Trust Framework, in the indicate that there are 6 items that should be taken into account as a requirement for "thing", these are: Cryptography, Communications, Authentication, Physical Security, Platform Security, Alerting and Logging, when commenting on these items we also see reflected the broad context of things, in security matters we can mention OWASP, who now has a section on IoT security, and generates a document about the attack surface areas of an IoT device, these are:

·       Ecosystem Access Control

·       Device physical memory

·       Device physical interfaces

·       Web interface

·       Firmware

·       Network Services

·       Administrative interface

·       Data stored locally

·       Cloud web interface

·       Third party APIs

·       Authentication mechanisms

·       Mobile apps

·       Manufacturer APIs

·       Communications ecosystem

·       Network Traffic

HOW TO STAY UP TO DATE ABOUT KEEPING DATA SAFE?

Secure Your Wi-Fi Network Wi-Fi is that the most convenient thanks to hook up with the web, especially if you would like to attach quite one device in your home. However, make sure your Wi-Fi network is secure. This involves: Using encryption, preferably Wi-Fi Protected Access II (WPA2) because it's the strongest. You should be ready to do that within the security settings. Change the router settings so that the SSID remains hidden and could not be found by potential hackers. Change the name of your network (the Service Set Identifier or SSID) so that hackers cannot guess the manufacturer of the router. Making sure to use a strong password to gain access to your network. Also be careful when using a public Wi-Fi network like in a café. Never visit a sensitive site like online banking on a public Wi-Fi network because criminals can easily steal your data this way. Beware Of Dangerous Links Sometimes your computer can get infected with a virus if you simply click on a w...

COMPANIES INTERNET SECURITY

The Internet today allows companies to break down many barriers. The first is the barrier to entry in relation to larger businesses. And it is that although a few years ago small companies were destined to a small growth and to advance with their products only to the market that was geographically closest to them, today an SME can literally compete as equals and sell anywhere in the world 24×7, with the same capacity. In fact, the trend in the medium term is the emergence of micro-multinationals, SMEs that focus on a global market. All can go out into the world. Using the internet in the company also facilitates teleworking and increases productivity within the company, making it efficient and turning its service into a remote one. That it can be handled from anywhere in the world, the trend indicates, that you must become independent of any ties right now. It seems like magic, but no, the internet is a tool that, well used, can be very beneficial for a company. Focus and find the be...
