Less than half of cybersecurity professionals can handle IoT attacks,

Only half of cybersecurity professionals have a plan in place to deal with attacks on their IoT devices and equipment, despite that fact that nine out of ten express concerns over future threats, according to new research from the Neustar International Security Council (NISC).

These findings come at a time in which 48 percent of organisations admitted to experiencing a cyberattack against their IoT or connected devices and equipment in the last year alone. Just over a quarter reported feeling ‘very confident’ that their personnel would know how to protect against such attacks, while 38 percent claimed they are in the process of developing a plan.
