The Internet of Things (IoT) introduces an unprecedented diversity and ubiquity to networked computing. It also introduces new attack surfaces that are a boon to attackers. We are performing research to better understand and mitigate attacks on (and from) these devices.
This work includes student researchers from Breakerspace, an undergraduate cybersecurity research lab with the goal of scaling up research experiences for undergrads.
