Allot Report Finds Low Confidence in IoT Device Security
Allot Communications Ltd., a provider of network intelligence and security solutions for service providers and enterprises worldwide, released findings from its latest Telco Security Trends Report that examines the confidence of Internet of Things (IoT) device security by consumers living in connected homes. The report reveals that consumers have low confidence in the security of their IoT devices and are willing to pay extra for security to safeguard the connected home. The report also highlights an opportunity for ISPs to deliver on-target cybersecurity services to subscribers at the network/router level.
Based on anonymous data gathered from 1,261 consumers in 10 countries, the Telco Security Trends Report examines which IoT devices are being used and how often; what level of awareness consumers have of security threats to these devices; and the level of confidence consumers have in their device security. The report also covers how much consumers are willing to spend on IoT device security services.
