Michael Cooney in his article, “DHS says IoT security vulnerabilities are critical and need to be addressed.”
The link above provides fascinating reading from a few perspectives. lt outlines the challenges of securing sensor networks, so much so that the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has put out a call for “novel ideas and technologies to improve situational awareness and security measures for protecting IoT domains, as well as technologies that will help DHS operational and support components gain comprehensive and near continuous knowledge of IoT components and systems that affect their operations and assets.”
