Podcast: Set up a secure IoT network and Wyze has new gear

March 26, 2020 by Stacey Higginbotham 2 Comments

Ready for a new IoT prototyping device? Check out this Kickstarter project. Image courtesy of Frame.IoT.

With the spread of COVID-19 and people staying home, robots are gaining ground in jobs, so Kevin and I discuss what jobs are at risk and what happened with automation during the last three recessions. We also talk about the rules that need to be in place if we want to track people during the pandemic in the U.S. and in other Western democracies. Then we cover a Russian botnet, racist digital assistants, confidentiality with Alexa, a new Arduino module, and the new scale and activity tracker from Wyze. Kevin and I take some time from the current worries about the coronavirus to envision the world we want when all this is over and discuss medical device privacy.  We end with a listener question about the new Nest subscription plans expected sometime soon.

Our guest this week is Josh Datko, founder and chief engineer at embedded security firm Cryptotronix who is here to school us all in IoT security. We start with his advice for consumers, including advice on splitting off a separate IoT network in your home. We then discuss the difference between embedded security and IT security and discuss the importance of security engineers in product design. We end with Datko explaining the difference between secure enclaves, trusted execution environments and other security terms that may mystify you. Enjoy the show.

    Hey @gigstacey,
    I also ordered the Wyze Band. I’m interested in seeing how it compares to the Mi Band 4 which is also very inexpensive and offer around 19 days worth of charge. This new band looks similar to Huawei trackers but aren’t as advanced as the Xiaomi line.
