As the world around us becomes increasingly connected, the attack surface is only set to grow. Dr Mike Lloyd, RedSeal, tells us why IoT is the latest headache for CISOs and offers some advice on how to secure it.

There’s a saying in the security world: ’if it’s on the network, it belongs to the CISO.’ And CISOs have risen to the occasion, developing and honing a bag of tricks that work reasonably even in the face of morphing attacks and unwitting employees. But now, with increasing numbers of very different devices connecting to the internet, CISOs are realising that their standard bag of tricks doesn’t work on the Internet of Things (IoT).

RedSeal Chief Technology Officer Dr. Mike Lloyd joins ZDNet to talk about the labor gap and staffing shortage in security, shortfalls of artificial intelligence, IoT devices without security patches, and more. “You cannot reduce the fact that security is a human game,” says Lloyd. “There aren’t any good computers for human politics yet.”
