Need to add something to your grocery list? Want to listen to your
favorite song or see who is knocking at your door while you are taking a
shower? You can do all of these by simply asking one of the various IoT
devices many of us have welcomed into our homes. As stated in the
Shapiro Library article Internet of Things in the Vanguard but
Vulnerable to Hacks, “IoT is quickly touching every facet of daily life
and it’s becoming bigger and bigger business” (Fanelli, 2019). Should we
be concerned with trading convenience for confidentiality? The article
goes on to describe service attacks and various ways hackers have
gained access to not just our information, but in some cases our homes.
For your initial post:
•
•
Consider the confidentiality, availability, and integrity (CIA) triad
mentioned in the module resources.
Then determine whether you believe that the manufacturers of
these IoT devices should be responsible for ensuring the security
of their devices or that consumers are responsible for taking
appropriate actions to protect themselves?
Support your choice by describing the measures either the
manufacturer or consumer should take and how those measures
would ensure confidentiality, privacy, or security.
Provide at least one additional safety measure that could be
taken.
