In a rush to grab their share of a growing market, manufacturers are pushing devices to market quickly for low-cost and convenience but with minimum security features. Gartner recently forecasted there will be 8.4 billion “connected things” in use worldwide in 2017.

It seems that almost every standard household item from kitchen appliances to toothbrushes can be purchased with internet connectivity these days, and most all of these connected devices need patching and updating to remain secure – if they were ever secure to begin with.

There also remains a lot of unanswered questions about what happens to data intentionally and unintentionally collected from these connected devices, and who should have access to the data?

In this episode of the InSecurity Podcast, host Shaun Walsh is joined by special guest Elizabeth Wharton, Senior Assistant City Attorney with the City of Atlanta’s Law Department (Aviation Group) and Host of Buzz Off with Lawyer Liz to discuss the potential perils of connected technologies.
