Smart Devices

Beijing’s traffic authority gives tech company Baidu a go-ahead for testing self-driving cars on its public roads. What does this mean for self-driving cars and technologies?

Researchers reiterate that wearables are vulnerable to different attack scenarios that risk users’ privacy and security. How do we go about securing the use of wearables and other IoT devices?

Researchers found US-based traffic systems vulnerable to data spoofing attacks, where smart intersections are tricked into indirectly causing traffic slowdowns.

An increasing number of home owners are installing internet-enabled voice assistants, creating more convenient and connecetd environments. However, these devices expose users to unique privacy and safety issues.

Smart security systems in buildings allow for easier, centralized management of security and safety, but these connected systems also come with exploitable vulnerabilities. This infographic provides a guide for managing these systems and securing devices.

From what we've seen in CES 2017, the future can be summed up in a single word: smarter. At the same time, there is always the need to push security at an equal pace with innovation.

The inevitable rise of IoT homes is driving a market hungry for convenience and efficiency, but this trend is also bringing up serious concerns. Who is ultimately responsible for securing IoT homes: buyers or manufacturers?

The reality for home users is that not all smart devices have basic built-in security measures. This gives you, as a user, the de facto responsibility to secure the way you set up and use the devices.

Over the last few years, there have been reports published by security researchers that have proven that smart devices can indeed be abused.
