Some additional cybersecurity details

Through this practical book’s section – we would deal with the IoT assets that would use default
passwords. Let us remind you – that would happen when we tried to explain how it’s easy to hack those
thousand web assets being available through the Shodan’s crawler. Many web resources would offer a
quite convenient explanation how hacking of any IT infrastructure works in practice. Also, we would use
the information from some expert’s sources such as the BrightTALK’s platform.

Similarly as researchers – the hackers would play with our new technology and every single day they
would discover new and new advancements. We would warmly advise all people spending a lot of time
on the web on a daily basis to try to think hard and figure out how these emerging technologies could get
applied in protecting our assets and preventing any sort of a cybercrime. It’s well known that the modern
threats would get dependable on these technological improvements, so it’s very significant to use such
an environment in order to prevent anything bad happens.

The concluding talk

Finally, we would spend some time and effort trying to conclude this book’s chapter. The main thing that
we would notice through this research is that it’s quite easy to threaten all – mechatronics and embedded
systems as well as business assets. Through these case studies – we would see how it works in practice
and how vulnerable our IT assets are. In conclusion, we would say that many times – but the best
prevention for those cases is to cope with the procedures, policies and new trends in order to remain
updated about the current tendencies and actively learn how to protect your valuable data.
