We are seeing an ever-increasing number and sophistication of cyber-attacks on systems and products that are using Internet (IoT) connected devices. These attacks are being instigated by different types of actors including: criminals; states and state sponsored; issue-orientated hactivists (malicious insiders pose the greatest threat) and ‘script kiddies’.
The risk and damage to an organisation or individual in terms of reputation, costs, health & safety, due to poor security practice can be considerable.
In May 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation(EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) became enforceable. GDPR covers "security by design" in hardware and software. Data controllers are obliged to consider "data protection by design and by default". Organisations using insecure IoT devices, software and systems could face action under GDPR should they contribute to theft or "spillage" of personal data.
