Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) is gaining a reputation for insecurity. Researchers have revealed dangerous flaws in everything from baby monitors to power stations. And much of the problem stems from an attitude of ‘innovate now, secure later’. In this interview with Tim Mackey, technical evangelist at Black Duck Software by Synopsys, we look at what the IoT encompasses, why so much of it appears to be flaky or downright dangerous and how the unquestioning and promiscuous use of readymade solutions, including open source code libraries, can have serious consequences.
