Re: The S in IoT stands for security

This is why if for some reason you have to have IoT devices around, you segregate them on a IoT-only VLAN that is behind a firewall and can only access the Internet. No "real computers" or peripherals on that VLAN. Better yet, if your router supports enough SSID's & VLANs, give each IoT device (or small groups of like-IoT devices) their own SSID & VLAN to use so they can't even see each other.
