In our ever-expanding IoT world, security has to be the thing that software developers must think about first, last and everywhere in between.
Instead of reinventing the wheel every time a new App is created, Eight Development have the structure and protocols to integrate with any new software that ensures it meets the highest standards.
We all know that even though the Internet Of Things is beneficial in so many ways, somehow, some way, somebody out there will want to penetrate these interconnected devices for some evil purpose. Eight Development looks at how a particular device interacts with the IoT and how and why an attacker might want to penetrate it.
It could be an unscrupulous contractor hacking into a User’s smartphone to mess with a house thermostat, overloading the system or causing pipes to burst, and then capitalisingontherepairs. Itcouldalsobe a foreign government, as we have seen in recent years, shutting down a movie studio who may have offended them, or stealing millions of credit card details, or violating the privacy of millions of government employees.
These acts are no longer a part of science fiction - they are very real and present dangers and criminals who seek to exploit a system and will always look for the weakest link. Eight excels in chaining these gates and keeping them chained.
