Types of attacks against our edge analytics applications

By its very nature, an edge analytics application is more secure than a pure IoT application. This is due to the fact that we limit the amount of information that is transmitted over the internet. However, there are still security concerns we must take into account.

The following are three examples of these concerns.

Vulnerability issues

Vulnerabilities in our internet-facing interfaces may be exploited by cyber criminals. These vulnerabilities include using default passwords and out-of-date software updates. In the following diagram, we can see the vulnerabilities of the internet-facing interfaces of the smart doorbell application we built in the previous chapter:
