After doing research on privacy concerns regarding smart devices I came across a website that had predictions for 2020 that I found to be interesting. With recent events that have taken place and the amount of uncertainty we all have, it is nice to be able to plan and prevent some things. According to security today there are a couple things that we can do to help increase our privacy. These include
- You can employ Endpoint Detection and Response to always be on the lookout for potential threats
- Ensure the health of your network by scanning devices
- Create a separate network for all your smart devices like thermostats, TV, refrigerator, and devices like Alexa so they are not connected to your personal information on things like your computer
These are a few things we can do in this upcoming year to help protect our privacy and personal information to the best of our ability. If you would like some more in depth descriptions read Security Today at the link below.
