Kaspersky launches IoT Device 

Scanner for 'smart homes'


   Kaspersky Lab released a    beta version of its solution  for the "smart" home and  the Internet of Things -  Kaspersky IoT Scanner This  free application for the Android platform scans the home Wi-Fi network, informing the user about the devices connected to it and their level of security.


With IoT's increasing popularity, cybercriminals are eagerly looking for ways to take advantage of this growing trend. Instead of making life easier for their owners, smart devices are increasingly becoming a weak link in their security.

"We have already seen many devices connected to the Internet fall susceptible to a hack due to software that is used to connect to the web, which ironically is also past its prime. Items compromised range from baby monitors to air conditioners to automobiles. Sadly if something connects to the web, it can be hacked. And there are IoT search engines to make it happen faster," said Altaf Halde, Managing Director- South Asia, Kaspersky Lab.  

Kaspersky Lab developed a solution to help reduce these risks. With the beta version, the company is encouraging IoT users to protect their smart homes, and share their experiences about the performance and usability of Kaspersky IoT Scanner.

Kaspersky IoT Scanner automatically identifies smart devices such as Wi-Fi routers, IP cameras, Smart TVs, Wi-Fi printers, NAS network storage devices, media servers and game consoles, as well as computers, tablets or smartphones, in the home network. 

The solution memorizes them and notifies the user when any new or familiar device is connected to, or disconnects from, the network. This allows the user to always be aware of who is accessing his or her home network at any moment.
