Connected devices are becoming more common in our daily lives, raising concerns about their security. Inadequate security in consumer IoT products has led to instances of hackers infiltrating networks and taking control of smart cars. The supply chain plays a crucial role in securing IoT devices, but responsibility needs to be shared across all links. The SolarWinds supply chain attack highlights the risks of compromised updates. Quantum technology poses an even greater threat to IoT security, but adopting post-quantum cryptography can help mitigate this risk. Collaboration between manufacturers, consumers, and regulators is crucial for setting standards and addressing vulnerabilities. Security-by-design is essential for ensuring that IoT devices are secure from the start. Organizations need to prioritize IoT security and implement certified guidelines. The threat of quantum cyber-attacks necessitates the adoption of quantum-proof security measures.
