Vulnerability at the Edge
Listen as Marcus Carey moderates a conversation with fellow industry experts Dr. Lloyd Greenwald, Jen Savage, and Brian Courchaine, discussing the approaches, attack vectors, and vulnerabilities that threaten IoT and edge systems.
What you’ll find out
- How has COVID influenced autonomous edge systems?
- What are some of the traditional vs. new attack vectors that are happening in this new world of COVID?
- What are some issues with key distribution, and can we use encryption without key distribution?
Key takeaways
- “Edge computing becomes an important issue when you have bad bandwidth, so COVID is changing that…The tradeoffs between cloud and edge have changed. It’s a nice way to rethink edge computing.” — Lloyd Greenwald, CACI
- “A lot of people are low-to-moderately skilled in cybersecurity…In terms of COVID, what are we going to install now that we’re never going to use again for 17 months… that will still be resident on our computers?” — Brian Courchaine, MITRE
- “You have no idea who’s attempting that password spraying attack, if it’s just some random kid who downloaded a database of breach information, or if it’s a nation-state. You just don’t know, and I think that’s one of the scary things about our industry.” — Jen Savage, Black Hat
