When AI Meets IoT: How a Forgotten Threat Re-Emerged with a New Twist

Before World War II , France poured its military resources into building the Maginot Line, a massive chain of fortifications designed to prevent a German invasion. It was an engineering marvel and a symbol of confidence in modern defense strategy. But it failed. Germany bypassed the Maginot Line by advancing through the Ardennes Forest, an area France had deemed too rugged and irrelevant to defend. That assumption proved fatal. By ignoring an older vulnerability in favor of a newer, more "obvious" threat vector, France left itself open to a devastating attack. In cybersecurity, we’re making the same mistake. Just a few years ago, I was purchasing books on pentesting IoT devices and completing Udemy courses on IoT security. It felt like the next big cybersecurity frontier, a sprawling, vulnerable ecosystem of smart locks, thermostats, TVs, and routers, all running outdated firmware and barely protected APIs. But over time, that focus faded. The industry shifted almost ent...

Remember the Mobile Devices

-
           There is probably no topic of contention that I encounter more as an IT security consultant and auditor than mobile device security. People and organizations just don’t want to secure themselves against mobile devices. The excuses are numerous: ·         Regulating employee mobile devices will lower morale. ·         Employees will think we are spying on them. ·         Other organizations allow their employees to use mobile devices freely. ·         No one worries about mobile device security anymore. I have even heard many of these statements from other information security professionals, including the last statement. DON’T BE FOOLED! Mobile devices are a serious risk to your organization. I have appeared on the news three times in the last few years to speak about attacks and threats targetin...

When the Solution Becomes the Threat: AI Agents and the New Browser Security Crisis

 "I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that." – HAL 9000 Many science fiction fans will recognize this quote from the classic film 2001: A Space Odyssey, with HAL 9000 being the rather ambiguous villain in the story. However, viewers or those with only a casual familiarity with the story, often forget that HAL 9000 wasn’t evil. It was obedient. HAL was built to eliminate the risk of human error and it followed its programming to the letter. But when mission parameters conflicted with human judgment, HAL’s unwavering logic led to catastrophe. In cybersecurity, we’re facing a similar dilemma. For years, the weakest link in security was the human user. Every cyber security professional knew the phrase. Almost every certification quiz had some question about it. Employees click phishing links, reuse passwords, and misconfigure systems. So, just like the scientists in A Space Odyssey, we turned to automation: AI agents that could navigate web apps, handle rep...
