UAVs without a firewall may become the biggest security threat this year

According to TechCrunch, a technology website, in recent years, drones have not caused panic in the airport. There have been similar accidents both at home and abroad. Some drones have also "fired off" with aircraft, although Did not cause disastrous consequences, but I am afraid it will also make the pilot feel a cold sweat. In addition to threatening flight safety, drones also appeared in landmark buildings such as nuclear power plants and the Empire State Building last year, and one of them also broke through the windows of the building. Although most of these accidents were carried out by some "flying" black flying, it also heralded the beginning of "machine war", and we could easily "war" without spending much money.

UAVs become security threats

A recent study shows that armed drones are already one of the biggest cybersecurity threats in 2017. Hackers can easily hijack a Parrot AR drone drone that sells for less than $200 (about $1,370) and turn it into a weapon of terror.

Goldman Sachs recently released a drone market research report that predicts that the retail sales of the drone market will grow by $2.5 billion this year. The high efficiency and impressive return on investment of drones will make them widely used in many fields such as construction, agriculture, insurance and resource exploration. Goldman Sachs believes that the United States will become the largest market for drones, with a scale of $17.5 billion, followed by China ($4.5 billion) and the United Kingdom ($3.5 billion).

However, if you dig deep into today's drone market, you will find that vendors have little to do with security. If you call the police to be attacked by a drone (a malicious attack, not being picked up), I am afraid the police will let you see a psychiatrist.

UAVs lack the same firewall as IoT devices

Like other technology products, manufacturers always take the road of “polluting and then re-governing”. For them, if safety is too heavy in the R&D process, it will form huge resistance and will affect revenue, so security issues It is always after someone’s accident that someone pays attention.

When I was drinking with a friend who was a chief technical security officer (CISO) at a technology company, I heard him swearing: "The company has never invited our security team for Christmas parties." But the author believes that if companies All of them regard security personnel as abandoned people, and our society will eventually pay the price.

Previously, the FAA had shown how easy it was to get into black drones. Parrot, DB Power and Cheerson brands didn't even have passwords and encryption. This phenomenon is also very common in the Internet of Things circle, so last year hackers used this loophole to smash half of the US network.

In a recent demonstration, a hacker used a drone to black out Philips' IoT bulbs. Experts warn that if hackers control both the Internet of Things and drone products, it will bring a catastrophe. Gartner said in a memo that it is time to redefine our convenience protection system, and with just a few hundred dollars of investment, we can deal with some malicious attacks. If you don't act again, I am afraid that it will be too late to call for help.

Drones can be "no evil"

The recent attacks on San Francisco's public transportation system may also spread to the UAV field. Once hackers use drones as ransomware tools, drones that circling and waiting for an attack can be much more horrible than not being able to sit on the subway. The attack on the San Francisco public transport system caused the municipality to lose $560,000 a day.

In the context of the market share of the supreme guidance of the entire market, drone manufacturers do not care about security, security issues seem to be the cause of others. Although the FAA controls the drones, their demanding weight requirements do not work for hackers.

Dr. Dedrone, an expert on drone safety startups, said: "We are all dismissive of small problems, but in fact the drone safety problem is getting bigger and bigger. Right now, some people have used drones to block data center networks. Some even tried to use the collision to damage the cooling system of the data center. In addition, some people used the drone to send weapons to the prison."

Dedrone has developed a platform that can detect and combat drone intrusions. The company believes that according to the law, only law enforcement agencies can shoot down drones, and shooting down drones is not the fundamental way to solve the black fly problem.

New opportunities in the security market

This is a world full of contradictions. Innovators who are brave enough to bring us new experiences, but also create a lot of trouble. Once the government department intervenes, it will kill innovations to varying degrees. However, if there are no detailed regulations, the drones that will raise the threat to three-dimensional space will become a big worry for the whole society.

When drone manufacturers are busy grabbing the market, the opportunities left to the security team are also increasing. Whoever can act first can seize the opportunity, and those who are laggards will definitely be "rained" by the "heavy rain."

Electromagnetic Relays

Electromagnetic relay is an electronic control device that has a control system (also called an input loop) and a controlled system (also called an output loop). It is usually used in an automatic control circuit, which actually uses a smaller current and is lower. The voltage is an "automatic switch" that controls large currents and higher voltages. Therefore, it plays the role of automatic adjustment, safety protection and conversion circuit in the circuit.
