IoT Security Assessment Security Trends and Predictions

Who is actually watching, and why should anyone care? On this episode of Security Noise, we’re talking about privacy on the modern web, moving past the basics like VPN and digging deeper into how to protect your data. We discuss different aspects of privacy like your ISP, the phone in your pocket, and the three or four companies that have a tracker on most of the pages you load. And what about the smart TV, the doorbell, and the thermostat in your home? Senior Security Consultants Kelsey Segrue and Joe Sullivan sit down with Geoff and Skyler to cover who is actually in a position to watch you, what data they can gather, why you should care, and what you can realistically do about it.
