Smart grid IoT devices benefit from robust encryption and regular monitoring to prevent system-wide disruptions.
Smart grid IoT devices benefit from robust encryption to secure communication between devices and systems, preventing unauthorized access and data breaches. Regular monitoring helps detect anomalies or potential threats in real-time, allowing for timely responses to prevent system-wide disruptions. The combination of encryption and monitoring enhances the overall security and reliability of smart grid systems, ensuring smooth operation and protection against cyber threats.
Denial-of-service attacks overwhelm IoT devices. Mitigation includes rate limiting, network segmentation, and implementing intrusion prevention systems.
This statement is correct. Denial-of-service (DoS) attacks target devices or networks to disrupt services by overwhelming them with a flood of traffic. Internet of Things (IoT) devices are particularly vulnerable to such attacks due to their often limited computing resources and security features. Mitigation strategies like rate limiting can help control the amount of incoming traffic, network segmentation can isolate critical devices from potential threats, and intrusion prevention systems can detect and block suspicious activities to protect IoT devices from DoS attacks.
