Securing IoT Sensors, Hubs and Controllers
© George Sidman ~ TrustWrx, Inc., 2019
As the Internet of Things expands into all aspects of industry, health care, connected cars, wearables, etc., the security of communications beyond the defended perimeter has become a major issue. As IoT devices proliferate across the cloud, the frequency and costs of breaches are escalating, opening up many vulnerabilities across IoT that have proven difficult to defend against. Download PDF
11 Internet Security Fallacies
© George Sidman ~ TrustWrx, Inc., 2019
Presented are 11 fallacies and myths that currently dominate the security/privacy industry; limiting much-needed innovations towards better privacy and security. Included among these fallacies is the long considered sacred DNS, the single largest violator of privacy and spawner of malware on the Internet. Other fallacies are covered because we can’t fix the Internet until we get some clear-headed thinking. Download PDF
The Worldwide Internet Security Crisis
© George Sidman ~ TrustWrx, Inc., 2019
This paper raises the alarm of the escalating Internet Security Crisis. It reveals the rapidly increasing numbers that will give the cyber criminals more than 10% of the US GDP in 2021. The expanding shortage of security engineers is also reviewed, along with the growth numbers for IoT devices. The combination of these elements, and the lack of real communications security for IoT, adds up to an impending crisis of national disaster proportions. Download PDF
