The recent publicity that surrounds the VW diesel emissions scandal only just begins to highlight the security challenges that IoT users and producers must consider today.
Using the VW diesel emissions scandal as a case study, Xitex’s founder Richard Marshall has written a blog post for the IoT Security Foundation on the importance of being able to remotely patch product firmware. His writing particularly looks at how VW might have reduced the impact of their diesel car emission problem if they had been able to remotely update the ECU firmware.
The full blog post can be found on their website: at: How VW Might Have Fixed their Emission Problem.
