581: IoT's Impact on IT Professionals

Listen in as I welcome back Michael Sturla from Radix IoT to discuss the ever-increasing impact of IoT on IT professionals.

Got any security challenges for IoT?

Our conversation will explore how IoT devices are reshaping the landscape of network security, forcing IT professionals to evolve from mere security guards to proactive organizers. We'll address the hurdles of dealing with vendors who are yet to catch up with IoT technology and emphasize the importance of continuously learning and adapting.

We also dive deep into the security vulnerabilities inherent in IoT and the crucial role of rapid qualification for devices entering networks and the perils of using cheap devices. The conversation will shine a light on the importance of supply chain in maintaining security and the various ways systems can be compromised. Throughout, we'll emphasize the need to educate people about the importance of security and debunk some common misconceptions.
