Our chairman, Mattias Bergström, will be talking about cybersecurity at Aerotech on March 15 in the room Ballroom F at 1.30 p.m. (PST).
Cyber-criminals and Cyber-terrorists are looking at IoT devices and their installations as an opportunity to steal information, extort money and attack national critical infrastructure. One of the most simple but efficient attacks is the Denial of Service attack, which is a simple way to take out and extort cloud-based services. There is also targeted ransomware, common malware, DNS hijacking, and other tools these criminals and terrorists use. The one common trait between these attacks is that they in one way or another exploit centralized infrastructure solutions, be it at index, data, service, or user level. This presentation will explain the threat to IoT devices, explain why IT departments alone are not equipped to handle the monitoring of millions and millions of devices in real-time, and why deployments using current infrastructure solutions as cloud technology are catastrophes waiting to happen.
