challenge to boss woman back home who are bones by them duties and social norms and inform them about bed peace and write. my name is them out of the home and i wore them. fridges that no was at the door talking losses and robots that mow the lawn on their own smart devices are meant to make our lives easier but they also gathering all private data the internet of things us mot but how secure is it i want topic today on shift. i old see all the internet all things is a network of devices that can communicate via built in mini computers for example has integrated so. and says that money to and regulate room temperature that can

safe heating costs of vacuum cleaners that operate independently can save us time boys assistance always haven't opened it for us and can even tell other devices what we want by the way what do you think alexa is used most for they've limp head of amazon hardware has some interesting news customers ask echo over a 1000000000 times a year. this alexa what time is. the talking clock. the internet of things has a lot more to offer from time sensors that measure air quality to cars networks to surveillance systems for industrial plants a recent study expects that over 50000000000 devices and sensors will be connected by 2022 professor from the visited specializes in the internet of things. professor much has been studying. the internet of things

for over 10 years and. he's fascinated by the idea of making everyday objects smart. consider the light bulb and you can control it with a switch on the wall or you could use your phone. you might want to add features like making a light flash when a storm warning is issued. but then your light needs to be able to receive that information from the web it's not stored locally. so your light has to be able to communicate with the cloud. and. the industry can assist smart devices to make life easier like with autonomy's lawnmower. tracking cleaners that run on their own and heaters that automatically adjust the room temperature as soon as everyone is left the house. a smart bridge that monitors which groceries are running out can be very

inconvenient imagine being out of butter and then the doorbell rings with a fresh delivery of more butter but this also lets companies analyze which products you consume. the data collected in transmitted is mostly invisible to ordinary users the same goes for the software built into their devices. to the data collected and in the worst case you can remotely control the smart devices these are the largest concerns this has with this new technology. right now the biggest challenge the internet of things faces is security and privacy imagine someone with access to your stove they could cause it to overheat and maybe even start a fire in your home. or someone with control over a power plant could cut the power to an entire city.
7:20 am
the possibilities seem endless but the risks involved and not to be taken lightly users should think twice about how much small technology they want in their homes families is not too worried they enjoy the convenience and futuristic this network provides or would like to see even more technology online at home. i want my house to be able to tell when i get out of bed when i come downstairs i want my favorite radio station to start playing their favorite coffee brewing and if it's cold outside my car to automatically start heating up and it. can already remotely control who has access to his home he has a smart door his children don't need a key to get in they simply scan their fingerprints. i can see if my kids are home from them this camera has facial recognition.

it's. the voices. very interesting.

they all had to confess to analyzing. these digital. times pick up on. human constantly check. under stand speech impediments and. now people using this technology. now it's become. so. i default my

privacy being the default setting people who don't mind their actions being recorded to improve their experience can still change their settings or use a smart technology at home should really know what they're dealing with security expert martin shuttle believes smart technology requires smart handling the money found thought if you're responsible for a household full of smart devices then you've basically become a system administrator like the ones that many choose data centers for via acknowledge that means you need to treat your home like one catalog in the devices you're installing security patches checking for software updates changing passwords and perhaps even setting up protocols like to make sure there were no hacking attempts. and clings for who got a good point security analysts say the number of cyber attacks on i had to devices is on the rise in the 1st half of 21000 there were more than 2900000000 hacking
7:24 am
attempts 3 times more than last year one hacker showed us how simple hacking and be . launches to your floor. by. 3 hackers commandeered the device gaining access was pretty straightforward vacuum cleaners by this manufacture connected. me with. a slight change the source code was all it took to access the controls in camera. the vacuum cleaner receives its commands through a built in microcontroller connected to the internet. security make the entire network devices vulnerable. i can start to do commerce with it and then i can look which devices there is in my network to move to do. so it's like it's related to. the bad guys.
7:25 am
but there is no limit the problem is just one device can compromise the entire system no matter if it's a home or industrial network as soon as hackers get into one device they have access to all secure devices on the network and they can reprogram those devices to launch new attacks that makes it all the more important to understand the technology behind the internet of things but i recommend open source solutions they don't rely on just one manufacturer for security or data protection. with bold names riot. but riot is meant to be the new global operating system for the internet of things we provide the users need for that. if you're interested in the internet of things and want to make your devices smart then it's important to use open source solutions that aren't bound to a specific manufacturer. and always be aware of which apps you're using and
7:26 am
what private data they require. one possible solution is the operating system ryan developed a 3 year appeal in universities the right source code is openly accessible so anyone can check it and modify it to their own needs but that won't let users program their own devices yet they need other apps to do that. much as the danish wants to offer these apps under wraps store and app store for the internet of things currently it's still being tested but in the future it will let users download all kinds of apps for their smart devices so they can individually tailor their devices features. for the internet of things operates across a lot of different devices so it's not easy to make sure the software always runs smoothly there's not just 3 or 4 platforms to consider but there's thousands

ideally you want your software to run on all of them. right it focuses on small processors with low storage capacity and performance and minimal mostly battery power and energy consumption there's 2 reasons why much yesterday that prefers these kinds of applications. to buy that well 1st of all every object requires musical space that you might not always have. secondly each additional component costs extra when you manufacture small scale devices you can't use too much space and you need to be cost effective and. the industry is also very interested in open source io t. technology one car manufacturer is currently testing digital keys that run with the riot operating system smarts and say. one main software that keeps my network safe and makes sure my o.t.

devices work together smoothly and that's how i would want my smart home to be a reality is a big deal. fent manufacturers are reluctant to hand over their software and aside from that i think i owe g.d. vices should offer more than just convenience they should promote sustainability a smart thermostat have save energy great smart feed of a mad dog no thanks otherwise the end of things becomes the internet of jack what's your opinion how smart do you want your data data be under discussion for example shia buy and see them. after. this couple never took on the.
