Internet of Things (IoT)
Our lives have been made easier by the advent of internet of things involving IOT devices. These smart devices are widely used in smart Homes designs with remote control capabilities. However, this convenience comes with security risks. For example, as online CCTV / IP cameras are now widely used in homes and factories to monitor events, they can also be an entry point for personal data or video leakages when they are not properly configured with requisite security settings.
Here are what you need to do to protect and avoid common IOT Security Risks especially the CCTV cameras:
In addition, check the smart devices before purchasing to ensure that they have strong security features. Disable unused features and services on the devices. Finally, introduce two-factor authentication (2FA) if it is available for the device.
By following these simple steps, you can significantly reduce the risk of your IoT devices being compromised, especially home IP cameras that records sensitive household images
Stay vigilant and protect your smart home against cyber threats.
