Presentation summary:

OWASP IoT Top 10 - Exploring Vulnerability Root Causes

The marketplace of Internet-connected devices for home, office and industry is competitive and IoT vendors must evolve new features and designs rapidly to capture market share. As a result, IoT vendors are faced with tight profit margins and challenging technical constraints which sometimes require them to compromise on security controls. This presentation will introduce the OWASP IoT top 10 vulnerabilities list and lead the attendees through common root causes for the top 10 vulnerabilities by leveraging some scaled-down practical examples. The presentation will conclude with a few ideas on affordable and accessible solutions for IoT product designers to consider.
