More connected? We?re more vulnerable, too

Near the end of a report on Chinese hackers infiltrating the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the Wall Street Journal dropped the details that a thermostat at a Chamber-owned property was found communicating with an e-mail address in China and a printer in one of its offices spontaneously started printing Chinese characters.

Those small details speak to a larger problem facing network security today ? there are so many devices that use the Internet, understaffed network administrators may not have time to check the security on every device that gets frictionless firmware updates or sends diagnostic information to a company.

As cyberattacks become more complex and sophisticated, network administrators are being advised to concentrate on the most important parts of their networks, and often miss small vulnerabilities. ?Everything has a web interface these days,? said Ron Gula, the chief executive of Tenable Network Security. ?What we call embedded devices ? security cameras, fax machines, the phone system ? are usually out of scope of the traditional IT security person, who?s used to being conversant with Windows, UNIX, routers and things like that.?
