Cyber crooks are now casting a wider net, attacking not just PCs and mobile phones but also Internet-connected devices like security cameras or routers, which has “exponentially” increased the risk landscape, Cisco CEO Chuck Robbins said on Tuesday.
The $49 billion firm has a $2 billion security business and is helping customers across the globe devise their security strategy both proactively and reactively.
“The threat landscape is getting so much bigger. The distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks where 50,000- 100,000 IoT(Internet of Things) devices were enslaved in a botnet (Mirai attack), Wannacry. The risk is going to increase exponentially and we have to have a robust end-to-end architecture to actually solve this,” Robbins said at the IoT World Forum
