IoT/TcoT security

When I read topics of interest in the market I always view them with a grain of salt…but without a doubt IoT is booming but it has been booming for the last 6 years most people don't see the work that has gone in.

6 May 2000 due to the  (  ILOVEYOU worm ) we where asked to protect the  Desktop then the laptop now anything that moves..but the true collaborate of IoT is still the OS ( Operating System ) an Applications…or is it?

For example today I protect my fridge from hackers in my house an my kids roam with there IPADs an my home automation system gets hit on a weekly bases from China an Brazil..Still don't understand what there is to steel from my fridge unless you want my wife's Flan recipe .. or you want my pictures of me in the Camp NOU with Messi where is the weakness in these Devices

TcoT ( The connection of things ) so when I’m looking at my firewall an seeing this threats come in they don't want to plant a virus they want access to my banking details my iCloud an Google accounts why? there isn't Money in the fridge,,, But this sure is the next wave of Ramsonware being tested to own the consumer.

But the consumer isn’t the only one with an issue…no big business will own the bulk of the threat as TcoT is deeper reaching within business as most devices are dumb terminals to a smart backend ( Mainframe 4.0 )..eg things like POS devices ( Point of sale ) an ATM machine  ( Automated Teller Machines ) Road Toll device’s an Air Conditioner automation system to name a few..

So the solution needs a Single Pane of inline security as the perimeter has moved to TcoT ( The connection of Things ) point solutions with the lack of propagation protection & communication an forensic auditing will not cut it in the real world of IoT/TcoT

The IoT Market …$$$$$$$$$$

The evolution of connected devices as nodes on the Internet of Things (IoT) brings limitless possibilities. As more and more everyday things are connected to the Internet — medical devices, automobiles, homes, etc. — the long-term forecast for the IoT is staggering: By 2020, there will be 212 billion installed things, 30 billion autonomously connected things and approximately 3 million petabytes of embedded system data, all of which are expected to generate nearly $9 trillion in business value.
