How can IoT devices be protected from brute force attacks?

Implementing rate limiting and strong passwords is indeed critical in mitigating the risk of brute force attacks targeting weak IoT credentials. Rate limiting restricts the number of login attempts an attacker can make within a specified time frame, making it more difficult for them to guess passwords through trial and error. Strong passwords, typically a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and special characters, are harder for attackers to crack. By combining these security measures, the likelihood of a successful brute force attack is significantly reduced.
