Mitigating IoT Security Vulnerabilities with MQTT

IoT deployments carry inherent risks like undeterred access to devices, poor connectivity and a very large threat surface. With ever-increasing incidents of intrusion, denial of service, spoofing attacks, etc., businesses must take a strategic view of IoT security. IoT developers and Solutions Architects know that a solid security architecture for IoT will require encryption, authentication, and authorization to run at scale. However, today, IoT security needs a different paradigm than IT security - here is where MQTT comes in to help in mitigating IoT security vulnerabilities.

MQTT, the defacto protocol for IoT, is popular among IoT enthusiasts due to its lightweight nature. Having said that, there have been myths about it from an IoT security perspective. In actuality, MQTT can help secure IoT if done right. In this webinar, experts Gaurav Suman (Director of Product Marketing) and Florian Raschbichler (Head of Support) from HiveMQ will discuss:  

• How to build protection at different levels of the TCP/IP stack and have secure MQTT communications
• How IoT security need not be a barrier to performance
• Why it is critical to understand the full series of events in an IoT deployment?
