Is Your Smart Tech Spying On You? What Businesses Need to Know

Is Your Smart Tech Spying On You? What Businesses Need to Know

Smart devices—cameras, doorbells, thermostats—are everywhere. And while they offer convenience and safety, they also come with hidden risks.

Hackers know that many of these devices are installed without changing default passwords or updating firmware. That’s an open invitation.

Here’s how to secure them:

1. Buy From Reputable Brands: Cheap knockoffs often skip encryption and security updates.
2. Change Default Credentials: Always update usernames and passwords right away.
3. Enable 2FA: Two-factor authentication adds a vital security layer.
4. Segment Your Network: Put smart devices on a separate WiFi network from your business systems.
5. Keep Devices Updated: Turn on auto-updates where possible.

Smart doesn’t mean secure—unless you take the right steps.
