Subject: Embedded devices (aka IoT) as a community problem Abstract: This track will focus on the volatility on the Internet caused by embedded devices of all shapes and forms. While the danger was discussed a number of times in the past under different forums, it appears we have not done sufficient work in this space, as recently illustrated by the Mirai botnet. The panel aims to discuss the following topics:
- Ongoing issues with embedded devices - CPE, IoT, etc.
- Lack of adequate best practices
- Poor vendor response
- In the context of Mirai:
- Numbers of devices which can be infected?
- Number of parallel botnets?
- Size of those botnets?
- How many forks exist of the source code?
- What are the security vendors doing to improve this situation? Do we see discrepancies in the responses between different vendors?
- What are the service providers doing?
- What should be the government/regulators involvement?
