How To Manage Iot And Byod Threats While Still Preserving

The Internet of Things (IoT), and its influence on globalization, is changing the way of life in developed and developing countries. Making great strides in connecting the world, technology brings people together through email, live chats, social networking, and video. Yet, with increased technology comes increased threats to data loss, identity theft, and privacy concerns, especially considering the underbelly of the IoT where cybercrime threats challenge security.

Sooner than you think, any standard household item will become apart of the Internet of things (IoT). These items will be a part of the vast TCP/IP network of physical devices such as computers, routers, smart phones, medical devices, vehicles, sensors, military weapons, and laptops with Internet capabilities. The devices are uniquely identifiable within the existing Internet infrastructure approaching a size of 55 billion connected devices by 2020! Endpoint security consists of a multi-layered approach to protect each endpoint from cyber threats which are evolving at an alarming rate. Endpoint Security Management is a software related approach towards developing protection mechanisms for computer networks of all sizes that are remotely

The purpose of this study will be to develop adequate security strategies and best practices as a guide to add to the knowledge base of current literature on IoT devices. The current research literature on the internet of things indicates that the number of attacks against IoT devices are on the rise. The number of potential attackers is growing at an alarming rate because of the number of IoT devices that are joined to network every day (Abomhara and Kien, 2015). Tools are available to those same potential attackers are much more sophisticated that they have ever been. (p. 66). This study will provide valuable information to IT leaders, service providers, vendors and IoT manufactures.

Network Edge Security is the second-generation firewall architecture which changes 1st generation firewall paradigms. Network Edge Security pushes network security policy enforcement to the edge of the network (in other words all the way to the host) to address the insider problem. The architecture is not host-based software such as personal firewall but it is a host operating system independent and hardware based implementation on NIC (network interface card), with its own processor and memory that cannot be accessed by the host [5]. Network Edge Security

There are many security concerns that are apparent when looking at this lab and all of the services that have been set up on the devices on the network. I will be going through the devices one by one and go through the security issues apparent and will be going through how they should be addressed in this environment and in an enterprise environment.

This research paper will discuss how the Liberty Beverage Corporation will design and develop a new network architecture for a complex enterprise with a diverse application, user community, and device mix. It will incorporate security policies and discuss the network architecture and components used as defensive preventative measures against known security threats and vulnerabilities. Also, it will speak to several recommended measures to address additional security concerns.

Network security is becoming an increasingly important concern for small and midsize companies. A breach in internal or external security can severely damage a company’s most important operations, hampering productivity, compromising data integrity, reducing customer confidence, disrupting revenue flow, and bringing communications to a halt. This paper examines some of the new security challenges that confront small and midsize businesses today, and discusses how defense security perimeter solutions for wired and wireless networks. Information security (InfoSec) is the protection of information and its critical elements, including the systems and hardware that use, store, and transmit that information. To protect information and its related systems, each organization must implement controls such as policy, awareness training, security education, and technical controls. These security controls are organized into topical areas, and any successful organization will be able to integrate them into a unified process that encompasses this. (Whitman, 2011) MD Security Perimeter Consultants is a midsize company with 400 employees that specializes in business to business products and services. Because all the business is with other businesses they Information Security controls have to be simple, top of the line and scalable. In this paper, MD Perimeter Security Consultants will explain how Network, Physical, Personnel,

Context: Our networks are becoming more vulnerable because of wireless and mobile computing. Ubiquitous devices can and do pose a significant vulnerability. In this activity, you are to think outside the box and determine how to best defend against these threats.

Security vs. Speed – security vendors will have to balance the demands for high speeds and visible access sprawl to cope with insider threats. The problem may get even worse with the current trend that has witnessed the growth of BYOD and the internet of things growing. To enhance security, network vendors will be forced to reassess their prioritization and make a move towards new solution technologies. That can balance the need for fine technology and security; the easy solutions include embracing active intelligence and probabilistic technologies.

Internet of Things is a new technology that delivers communication among billions of smart devices via the Internet such as a smart car, vending machine, smart house, health system and business system, et cetera. Nearly 50 billion devices and sensors will be connected to the Internet by 2020 and most of them will perform their duties without having security. In addition, the critical missions of a massive interconnected device are security and interoperability. Hackers will use more complex tools and techniques to breach the network system. Hence, companies should establish strong security countermeasures and the best approach to provide better security by deploying a multilayer approach, which is called defense in depth. Defense in depth

Further, a significant challenge many organizations when deploying IoT solutions is the melee of connectivity standards, hardware types, operating systems, programming languages in addition to navigating the proliferation of platforms. Dell Technologies has been a pioneer in driving innovation, standards, and solutions across the industry. Specifically, with their involvement the Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC), OpenFog Consortium, and the EdgeX Foundry hosted by the Linux Foundation. Although there has been some success with these standards bodies, the onus has been put on companies like Dell to provide leadership and move the industry forward. Seeded by Dell code, EdgeX is a vendor-neutral, open source project building a common interoperability framework to facilitate an ecosystem for IoT edge computing. The EdgeX effort is backed by over 60 organizations, including recent addition Samsung, has established a roadmap of bi-annual code releases and has formed a partnership with the IIC to collaborate on testbeds.

We intend to explore Critical Network Security Issues for IoT in general, and then focus on the privacy concerns arising. We have surveyed multiple papers, articles and other publishings to achieve this goal.

In the mobile computing, mobile phone security is an important research topic. It is of particular concern as it associates to the security of personal information now accumulated on the Smart phone. Today most of the users and businesses utilize smart phones [1] [2] as communication tools but also as a means of planning and managing their work and private life. In the companies, these technolo-gies are able to cause the profound modifications in theO-rganization of the information systems and consequently they have become the source of new risks.

Network security has had to adapt increasingly quickly, in order to keep up with the new ways that users and back-end systems work. Mobility and variety are currently on the increase at both sides of the enterprise network. At the outer edge, users are operating a growing range of hand-held computing devices. At the inner edge, virtualized servers, new storage devices (NAS and SAN), and data backup mechanisms are replacing what used to be a simple cluster of static servers. Both user needs and business needs are adding new requirements to the list of features that a network must support. New personal computing devices, with modern operating systems and brand new capabilities, are materializing at an exponential rate. Almost as quickly as a new technology is invented – even one that previously seemed like fantasy, for example making a video call wirelessly while walking around a building – it becomes a necessity. The era of static desk-bound PCs, running a prescribed OS image and a prescribed set of applications, has passed. The enterprise network must now be a more open platform.
