Connected technology reaches everywhere – it is the internet of things. But some of those things surely need special attention to their security?

Like medical devices:

Your takeaway from this is to look at your IoT and connected devices (such as CCTV) and check they meet your cybersecurity standard, are patched and secured and if administered by a third party (such as CCTV) that they exercise the proper cyber security controls at their end and patch your inhouse devices when needed.

My advice: Either you or your IT support need to check whether these issues impact your systems. You need to have a master document that details your systems, hardware, software, online, networks, back-ups, suppliers etc – so when cyber security (or operational) issues arise you and your support teams can quickly check if you are affected. From there you can take fast, effective action.
