We’ve been encouraged to embrace IoT for its convenience and its integration into our daily lives. But what happens when the Internet of Things bites back?  In today’s ISF podcast, ISF Managing Director Steve Durbin and podcast host Tavia Gilbert brings you the third episode in a series focusing on Threat Horizon 2022: When digital and physical worlds collide. In the series so far, Steve has explored threats that business enterprises will face between now and 2022, the consumer backlash to data harvesting and behavioural analytics, and the enormous threat of deepfakes.  In today’s episode, Steve and Tavia look more in-depth at the threat posed by the Internet of Forgotten Things. How the cheap, easy-to-produce IoT devices of today, many of which were never intended to be patched or updated, might become the security risks of tomorrow as well as the complicated legal regulations regarding the production and use of these devices. https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/threat-horizon-2022-internet-of-forgotten-things/

“Highly connected ecosystems of digital devices will enable organisations to harvest, repurpose, and indeed sell sensitive behavioural data about consumers without their consent, with attackers having the potential to then target and compromise poorly secured systems and databases at will.” In today’s ISF Podcast, we bring you the second episode in a series focusing on Threat Horizon 2022: Digital and Physical World’s collide. In the previous episode, Steve Durbin, Managing Director of the ISF, and Tavia Gilbert, ISF Podcast Host, gave a broad overview of the threats that business enterprises will face between now and 2022, as well as advice for proactive leaders. In today’s episode, Steve dives in deeper into two previously mentioned topics, starting with the consumer backlash against behavioural analytics, before moving onto the fascinating yet terrifying practice of deepfakes. https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/threat-horizon-2022-behavioural-analytics-and-deepfakes/
