As the festive season approaches, customers desire to deck their offices and homes beyond traditional ornaments and twinkling lights, as people are becoming more tech-savvy and opening the doors to allure in the world of smart devices. While smart devices, like voice-activating speakers, smart thermostats, smartwatches, self-locking doors, and many more, promise to add more convenience and comfort, lurking within this interconnected ecosystem lies a potential vulnerability: security.  

In this article, we’ll go over the best IoT security research and procedures buyers should conduct before purchasing gadgets this holiday season.

Four Best IoT Security Research and Practices

An IoT attack surface, at its most basic, is the total number of entry points for unauthorized system access since it extends beyond entrance points and encompasses all potential security flaws for IoT devices, linked software, and network connections.

With an understanding of the landscape, here are the 7 best IoT security research and practices buyers must do before buying devices this holiday season:

Research Before Buying Smart Devices

You should not be attracted by shiny advertisements; rather, dedicate time to researching different brands, their security measures, and customer reviews. Look for devices that prioritize your needs and have standard security features like secure boot sequences, regular firmware updates, and data encryption. For instance, instead of opting for a flashy smartwatch, research brands known for their robust security measures like two factors—authentication and secure data storage practices—also look for security audits and certifications like common criteria or ISO certification for added assurance.

Encryption Matters

Look for devices that support data encryption, especially for sensitive information like security camera footage or voice recording, as encryption scrambles data into an unreadable format, making it much harder for hackers to intercept your data and use it against you. For instance, when choosing a video doorbell, opt for one that encrypts the video recording before transferring the data to the cloud. This ensures that even if someone intercepts your data, they won’t be able to view it.

To Sum

The holiday tech frenzy should not be the gateway to security woes, so prioritize your research and implement these four essential practices to exercise vigilance to ensure your smart IoT devices become a haven of convenience and comfort but not a shelter for hackers. So, before the festive lights twinkle, take the time to check your smart devices and enjoy the holiday season with joy and peace of mind.
