BT, Intel Join Launch of Internet of Things Security Foundation

The Internet of Things Security Foundation (IoTSF) has been unveiled, a body of more than 30 firms, including BT, Intel and Vodafone.

The group is making its mission to vet internet-connected devices for vulnerabilities and flaws, and to encourage manufacturers to consider the security of connected devices at the hardware level. This is particularly important for businesses, because IoT devices connected to the corporate network offer ever more attack vectors via which to target organizations.

Addressing device vulnerability at the hardware level, for example through full disk encryption of hardware, will ensure that any data mined from the device is unusable and will be critical to business confidence in IoT devices.
