Kaspersky Lab has released an IoT scanner that helps smart homeowners to identify the devices connected to their WiFi and their level of security. The free app is the company’s solution for the smart home and the Internet of Things (IoT).

 

The app is expected to help thousands of IoT users protect their devices against cyber criminals who are constantly finding ways to exploit them.

 

Altaf Halde, Managing Director- South Asia, Kaspersky Lab, said: “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,”

 

Andrei Mochola, Head of Consumer Business at Kaspersky Lab, added: "Kaspersky Lab’s mission is to save the world from cyber threats. And it's not just words, we are working every day to make the Internet safer for our users. Our “arsenal” contains many free solutions for a variety of tasks and platforms, and Kaspersky IoT Scanner is yet another solution that allows a significant portion of netizens – namely, users of "smart" devices – to stay protected",
