Security questions have dogged the Internet of Things (IoT) since before the name was invented. Everyone from vendors to enterprise users to consumers is concerned that their fancy new IoT devices and systems could be compromised. The problem is actually worse than that, as vulnerable IoT devices can be hacked and harnessed into giant botnets<\/a> that threaten even properly secured networks.<\/p>\n

But what exactly are the biggest problems and vulnerabilities to avoid when building, deploying, or managing IoT systems? And, more to the point, what can we do to mitigate these issues?<\/p>\n

That\u2019s where OWASP<\/a>\u2014the Open Web Application Security Project\u2014comes in. In its own words, \u201cThe OWASP Internet of Things Project<\/a> is designed to help manufacturers, developers, and consumers better understand the security issues associated with the Internet of Things, and to enable users in any context to make better security decisions when building, deploying, or assessing IoT technologies.\u201d<\/p>\n
