Securing the IoT: Leveraging AI-Powered Cybersecurity

from FlexiNET Networks


The Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionized countless industries, connecting everyday
devices to the internet and enabling unprecedented automation and data collection. However, this
connectivity also introduces significant security vulnerabilities. As the number of IoT devices
continues to proliferate, so too do the threats they face, from data breaches and denial-of-service
attacks to physical safety compromises. This article will explore the critical challenges of IoT
security and delve into how leading cybersecurity provider FlexiNET Networks is addressing
these threats with advanced AI-powered solutions.

The Evolving IoT Security Landscape

The sheer volume and diversity of IoT devices pose unique security challenges:

 Limited Resources: Many IoT devices have limited processing power, memory, and
storage, making it difficult to implement robust security measures.
 Lack of Visibility: Organizations often lack visibility into the IoT devices on their
networks, making it difficult to identify and manage security risks.
 Software Vulnerabilities: IoT devices frequently run on embedded operating systems
with limited security features and are often vulnerable to exploits.
 Data Privacy and Security: IoT devices often collect and transmit sensitive data, raising
concerns about data privacy and security.
 Physical Security Risks: In many cases, IoT devices control critical infrastructure, such
as power grids and transportation systems, making them targets for cyberattacks with
potential physical consequences.
