⠠⠵ avuko<p>Okay:</p><p>Universal Basic Cybersecurity. *</p><p>For every organisation, the people through the government provide the means (not money but tools, knowledge and information) to have basic information security in place.</p><p>This as a response to the “Security Poverty Line” and the abysmal state of information security, especially (but certainly not exclusively) amongst the SMEs.</p><p>*) you can probably guess why I don’t pitch it as “Universal Basic Informationsecurity”. Also, just “Security” doesn’t work, because that is (rightly) used in the discourse around UBI. If it is confused with Universal Background Checks, that’s just a happy little coincidence.</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ShowerThoughts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ShowerThoughts</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/UniversalBasicCyberSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UniversalBasicCyberSecurity</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/UBC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UBC</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/SecuirtyPovertyLine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SecuirtyPovertyLine</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/infosec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>infosec</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/CyberSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CyberSecurity</span></a><br><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/UBI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UBI</span></a></p>

seism0saurus<p>Guten Morgen liebe*r Leser*in,</p><p>Lass Geräte offline, wenn dir das keinen großen Mehrwert bietet. Achte schon beim Kauf auf die Möglichkeit etwas offline zu betreiben oder ob es OpenSource Alternativen für die Anbindung gibt.<br>Vor einiger Zeit geisterte die Geschichte eines Botnetzes aus vernetzten Zahnbürsten durchs Internet. Es stellte sich heraus, dass nur von einem möglichen Szenario gesprochen wurde und das (noch) nicht passiert ist. Doch die Geschichte war zu glaubwürdig und verbreitete sich rasch im Fediverse. Sobald etwas vernetzt ist, wird es früher oder später angegriffen werden. Ob die Angriffe gelingen oder ob das Gerät sicher ist, hängt davon ab, wie sauber der Hersteller und Zulieferer gearbeitet haben und ob sie Meldungen über Lücken annehmen und diese zeitnah beheben. Doch für die meisten Unternehmen ist es nicht wirtschaftlich auch nach 1, 3, 5 oder 10 Jahren noch in ein altes Produkt zu investieren. Bei anderen bekommst du nicht mal das und das Gerät wird schon mit veralteter Software ausgeliefert und wird nie aktualisiert.<br>Das Problem ist deutlich kleiner, wenn dein Gerät gar nicht erst ins Internet oder mit dem Smartphone gekoppelt werden muss, um zu funktionieren. Angreifer*innen bleibt der einfache Zugriff aus der Ferne verwehrt.<br> <br>Ein weiterer Aspekt ist die Verfügbarkeit. Manche Geräte wurden nach wenigen Jahren zu Elektroschrott, weil der Hersteller die Server nicht mehr betreiben wollte oder konnte. Die Geräte konnten nicht mehr mit den Servern kommunizieren und stellten die Funktion ein.<br>Gerade im Smart Home gibt es viele Geräte, auf die du quelloffene Firmware aufspielen kannst und so auch ohne den Hersteller Updates von der Community bekommst. Durch Integration in ein lokal laufendes Home Assistant wirst du unabhängig von Servern und kannst viele Geräte in ein separates Netzwerk ohne Internetverbindung stecken.<br>Nimm den heutigen Tag als Anlass und prüfe, welche Geräte mit deinem Netzwerk oder Smartphone verbunden sind.</p><p>Habt einen wundervollen Tag</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/infosec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>infosec</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/itsecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>itsecurity</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/goodmorning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>goodmorning</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/shakeupitsecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>shakeupitsecurity</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/wisdomoftheday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wisdomoftheday</span></a></p>
