How to ensure the security of the Internet of Things to the greatest extent?

To ensure the security of the Internet of Things to the greatest extent, we should do the following three things:

First, be cautious about the collection of big data. There is a reason why the strategic contents of Huawei and Samsung are quoted in many words. Look at Huawei again, it has a detail of "centralized data collection, management and processing before opening to partners and industries". Samsung also has a detail of "being able to connect to the cloud". These are typical behaviors of collecting big data and storing it in the cloud. This kind of behavior is very dangerous if it is not restrained. I should remember the incident of Samsung smart TV monitoring before. Imagine that under the Internet of Things, we are "naked" in front of these hardware. Therefore, Internet of Things enterprises should be "self-disciplined" and cannot do whatever they want in big data collection.

Second, be cautious about the transfer and utilization of big data. The first point above has already mentioned a detail: "After the data is processed, it will be open to partners and industries". This should be a process of transferring and utilizing big data between different enterprises. And big data is also dangerous in the process of transfer and utilization. After all, the safety awareness, safety level and hardware level of each manufacturer are different, and there are great security risks. Eddy Willems, the founder of the European Anti-Computer Virus Association and the security consultant of the German security software company G Data, also said in my interview that "the security filtering measures between different devices in the enterprise are not enough". So this cooperation between big data is very worrying. This problem must be solved.

Third, guard against the invasion of external dangerous factors. If the first two points belong to the "internal cause" of Internet of Things enterprises, then the third point is to guard against "external cause". At present, there are many examples of hackers using commercial WIFI to invade, and even airplanes are hard to escape. This requires our Internet of Things enterprises to pay attention to security issues. These problems include excessive commercialization of commercial WIFI, software vulnerabilities, intelligent hardware and database passwords, encryption of hardware devices, weak security awareness of Internet of Things enterprises, weak security awareness of Internet of Things users, and compatibility of terminal devices among different Internet of Things enterprises. If these problems are not solved, hackers will be everywhere.
