The downside of defensive disorientation

Research conducted by NSA/CSS has shown that this technique increases the cognitive load on hackers and plays on their cognitive biases. “We can try to push them to make erroneous conclusions. In other words, we throw them off-balance. We try to make them work too hard, look for clues where they don’t need them. And that makes it easier for us to detect them,” Frinke says. “It’s a little bit like an old-fashioned honeypot or honeynet, but built into the system as an integral part of how it works, rather than an add-on.”
is that it’s harder to manage. “I have to do more design and systems management to be able to know with certainty which three nodes out of a hundred I need to use, otherwise I’m doing myself a disservice, especially when it comes to making changes to disorient an attacker,” Frinke concluded.
A knowledge base is being created to ensure IoT security

As the number of IoT devices connected to the Internet grows , the likelihood of a security breach increases. Therefore, it is necessary to summarize security best practices.
The IoT Security Foundation is a “vendor-neutral, global uruguay whatsapp data that aims to be an expert resource for sharing knowledge, best practices, and recommendations.” These resources include best practice guides, one of which is called the IoT Security Foundation. Its first version covers consumer products and markets, but subsequent versions will cover several other areas, such as medical, automotive, and critical infrastructure.
“The IoT represents a new phase in the evolution of the internet. With technology costs falling and barriers to entry low, new products are flooding into the market,” said John Moore, managing director of the IoT Security Foundation. The Internet of Things is expanding to include all sorts of new wearables, as well as connected appliances and smart toys.
The toy category has already raised concerns about data privacy. But companies of all types must think about privacy issues when designing anything that connects to the internet. What was first hailed as the “internet of treats,” Moore explains, could easily become the “internet of threats,” “if these new products don’t have sufficient security features.”
The question is, what is safe enough? That’s the question that Fundamentals aims to answer with a user checklist. It lists several product categories and assigns a recommended safety rating to each based on the potential damage the product can cause.
