Source: Krebs on Security
Original
Signal
Detection: Major IoT vendors announcing zero-trust firmware updates after Q1 breach wave. Commentary: This was inevitable but the timeline is compressed.
Vector
Definition: Zero-trust IoT convergence — applying identity-based access control to devices that were never designed for it. Validation: Three major vendors (Cisco, Palo Alto, Fortinet) shipping firmware with embedded identity verification. Direction: Enterprise IoT security is about to get expensive, fast.
Yeti Take
The perimeter is dead. Has been for years. But IoT was the last holdout pretending otherwise. Now even your thermostat needs an identity.
