Smart House Leaves You too Vulnerable

I was dating this guy recently, and he had the first smart home I had ever been inside.

I had seen them online, in photos and stuff, but never been inside a single.

Self opening doors, lights and entertainment systems that are turned on and off with voice commands, it was pretty incredible. It also had a really awesome security system, with cameras and sensors, that was also designed to listen to voice commands. I was just getting into coding and programming back then, and I started trying to find out about the laptop proposal that linked all of this. It turns out he liked the gadgets but didn’t realize he needed cybersecurity and how vulnerable his proposal was. By connecting everything in the home into a single network, he was putting all his eggs in a single basket, and a network perimeter security breach of any kind would be horrendous; Even a hacker-in-training could take over the smart house, so having some threat detection in location was something that is more of a need than a want. Instead of hooking up that evening I went over some basic network risk management protocols, and helped to tighten up his smart home configurations. He didn’t realize it, but if he didn’t have any mobile security anyone could have been peeking at or spying on us through the cameras and devices in the home that evening. When we did hook up, I would insist that it be at my house, which had adequate proposal security, and also has not a single camera. That evening changed my thinking about cybersecurity, and reinforced my desire not to have so called “smart house.”
