Survey finds Device Makers Security Priorities Often Misplaced

A joint LogMeIn and Security Ledger survey of 400 product professionals finds strong momentum toward IoT product deployment but reveals misplaced security priorities: respondents worry more about skilled hackers and supply-chain attacks than common, addressable issues (weak authentication, unsigned firmware, weak communications). The report warns that many firms only elevate security after products ship and may neglect simple, high-impact defenses and partnerships to secure device authentication and updates.
