Cybercriminals and Nation-States Look to IoT as the New Frontline

IoT Security Podcast

Richard Stiennon, Chief Research Analyst for IT-Harvest, joins us for The Return: Episode 2. Author of the recent Security Yearbook 2022, Richard started his career before cyber was cyber, a story he originally shared with Brian on a walk along some train tracks. How does a guy go from an ISP start-up to Gartner to IT-Harvest and being a bestselling author?

Richard started IT-Harvest to literally harvest data, and that’s resulted in his latest project, an app for data obsessives called the Analyst Dashboard. He talks about what it took to get there and some surprising results he’s discovered from the tool.

The cybersecurity space, he’s found, has focused and refocused and reframed and refocused again. Now, it’s apparent globally that cybercriminals and nation-states are looking at IoT as the new frontline. When new technologies come up, they’re developed with no thought to security, says Richard. Now we’re reaping what was sown.
