New CEDIA White Paper Tackles In-Home Network Security
CEDIA has released its newest white paper targeted at home technology integration professionals: "Securing the Residential Network." As homes and the systems within them become more connected, CEDIA has recognized a need to identify the evolving challenges hackers and other bad actors pose to in-home network security. Often referred to as "the backbone of the connected home," networking technology is often cited as a leading area of growth in the residential tech industry.
"In the age of the Internet of Things, residential networks and connected devices have a greater and greater potential to be exploited," said CEDIA Senior Director of Technology & Standards Walt Zerbe. "This white paper involves a comprehensive overview of a multitude of factors that integrators must consider when working to button up in-home networks from unwanted vulnerabilities; we also address terms and subjects that should be top of mind."
