#594: How to Protect Your Network From Insecure IoT Devices

Hackers are using overlooked IoT devices such as IP cameras, printers and smart speakers to gain access to networks and spread ransomware.

Philip Wylie explains how an outdated IP camera became a ransomware gateway, why default passwords and poor segmentation remain serious risks, and how to protect your network using separate VLANs, firmware updates, monitoring and zero-trust controls. The interview also explores medical devices, OT security, AI-enabled devices and the growing demand for IoT penetration-testing skills.
