At the most basic level, the TCP/IP architecture enables IoT devices to communicate with the network and each other. These stacks are open source and freely used by most embedded devices and IoT module manufacturers.
"IoT device manufacturers then buy the chips and modules with the TCP/IP stack code already embedded from these suppliers to create IoT products," Chan explains.
However, many of these manufacturers aren't aware that their devices are computer engineering salary , since they have no visibility into what stacks are used in the chips and modules that become part of IoT devices. What's more, it's not feasible or cost effective to analyze every single device to find and patch programming errors or other problems within the TCP/IP stack.
As a result, all devices are highly susceptible to attacks, breaches, and flaws. These can lead to performance failures, data loss or corruption, and brand damage. It can also increase cybersecurity costs.
