It’s a common mistake in enterprises to copy-paste security solutions from a peer. Strategies can be recycled, but sadly with even very similar businesses almost always have radically different IT and security requirements. I recall one hospital that looked at a nearly identical peer hospital that was only a few miles away. Much of the…

Trend Micro recently conducted a global survey of IT and security decision makers. When asked about the top consequence to IoT security, many would have expected it to be data loss. However, the top consequence named with 52% of respondents was “Loss of Customer Trust.” IoT has a physical component that is unusual in the…

The convergence of IT and OT is happening more rapidly than IT expects. Once upon a time, IT was so expensive that enterprises built entire departments to prioritize spending and efficiently manage those costly investments. Now, IT is so inexpensive that any individual who wants IT can buy it (or rent it). This is “Shadow…

Bio-IoT: Internet of Things applied to biological systems, such as pharmaceutical delivery systems, implanted medical devices, intelligent prosthetics, surgical assistants, and remote patient monitoring. IoT 2.0, with ample processing resources and OSI-conformant networking, promises vast improvements in health care. A recent paper from the IEEE describes a bright future for medical IoT (The Internet of…

From your home PC to your smart TV, digital technologies play an increasingly important role in the American household. Yet, as we fill our lives with more and more of these connected devices, the “Internet of Things” (IoT) gets more complex, which can lead to performance issues or gaps for hackers to exploit, greatly impacting…

Time flies pretty fast in tech. When Trend Micro was founded nearly 30 years ago, mobile phones were pretty clunky, prohibitively expensive and not in the least bit “smart.” Fast forward to today and the device in your pocket has more compute power than the NASA machines that put man on the moon. Over the…
Read More Q: How do you segment a mesh? A: You can’t. Legacy IoT devices, Industrial Control Systems with custom networking, are exceptionally difficult to secure. Typically, these devices contain only enough compute capabilities to support their primary operational function. They have limited memory, low power, constrained CPU resources, and very little network bandwidth. They do not…
Read MoreThere are few more exciting frontiers of the Internet of Things (IoT) than connected cars. Gartner predicts that there will be 61 million vehicles with built-in connectivity on our roads by 2020. But as we drive ever closer to a future where autonomous vehicles are a commonplace sight, we must be alert to the implications…
