Re: Vodadone IOT Security
@Ariella, I agree. However, although the article states that larger companies have the budget and resources to implement IoT security measures but it doesn't mean they will. I have worked for medium and large sized companies that lacked basic security measures. Many companies publicly say they think security is a high priority but in private they don't have tools or plans to support security.

Re: Vodadone IOT Security
@freehe that's true about a lot of things that get a lot of public attention, including sustainable design and equal employment opportunity.

Re: Vodadone IOT Security
@srufolo1 - I agree. But we're unfortunately pretty limited as to what we can do about it. Unless we stopped doing business with companies that use Equifax. And realistically that isn't as easy as wet might want it to be.

Re: Vodafone's Skpper on State of IoT Security
@srufolo1 - you would think all companies would think all companies would concern themselves a little more with security. It would be nice if a major security breach would actually result in a loss of business for these companies but it just doesn't. As much as I love Target, and think it would be nice if these companies had a set back from their carelessness, even I didn't stop shopping at target after they were hacked.

Re: Vodafone's Skpper on State of IoT Security
They have no choice but not to--that's the driving force all have to recognize. Any attempt at treating it hap-hazardly (ala Equifax) will be brutal--Although Equifax seems to have recovered..just checked the stock price--over $ 100 right now.

Re: Vodafone's Skpper on State of IoT Security
While it would have been nice for Equifax to not have the breach to begin with, I think they have done a pretty good job cleaning up their mess. That or we have been so programmed to move onto the next thing that investors forgot about the incident already.

Re: Vodadone IOT Security
@Ariella - That's a good point. My parents lament continually about the things I have for my kids that they never had for theirs. I supposed we all adapt and adjust with what we do have and don't really know much better. Though at least in this one area it's easy to see the problem and wish for its change before the next generation start having their babies. Who knows what kinds of gadgets the next generation will have for their babies.

Re: Vodafone's Skpper on State of IoT Security
@mpourarayan - That's crazy that the stock price is that high! (Though the conspiracy therist in me believes it's all just a made up game for the rich anyway.....) Still, I heard that us regular folk who had their identity stolen will have to deal with this situation the rest of their lives. Social security numbers were taken and with those, they can be used and sold and reused until you die. So, so great for Equifax to have jumped back, I have a feeling people who actually had their information stolen won't bounce back quite as quickly.

Re: Vodadone IOT Security
@elizabeth I think we're on the path from wearables to implantables -- or at least wearables that you don't even notice are there like small tattoos. They already do exist, but I believe they will become far more common.

Re: Vodadone IOT Security
@Ariella - Yeah, I'm fine with wearables, the Owlet is a wearable. I draw the line at implants and/or tattoos. (Not normal tattoos for decoration - anything that would contain my information kind of tattoo.) I was astounded by the number of people that agreed to the implants a few months ago. Nope, nope, nope. Not for me. I'll sell flowers on the side of the road before I'd get an implant.
