Cybersecurity Fun Facts
- Cybercrime is Big Business: If cybercrime were a country, it would have the 3rd largest economy in the world, just behind the U.S. and China!
- The First Computer Virus: The first known computer virus, “Creeper,” was created in 1971 as an experiment. It displayed the message, “I’m the creeper, catch me if you can!” – no harm intended!
- Passwords in the Wild: “123456” remains one of the most common passwords in the world, despite constant warnings from security experts.
- Cyberattack Every 39 Seconds: A cyberattack happens roughly every 39 seconds, meaning by the time you finish reading this sentence, multiple new attacks have already occurred.
- Hackers Love Public Wi-Fi: Public Wi-Fi networks are a hacker’s playground. Over 60% of people unknowingly connect to unsecured networks, making them vulnerable to attacks.
- The Average Data Breach: In 2023, the average cost of a data breach was estimated at over $4 million. Imagine how many burgers that could buy!
Internet of Things (IoT) Fun Facts
- More IoT Devices Than People: By 2024, it’s estimated that there will be more than 22 billion connected IoT devices – that’s almost three devices per person on Earth!
- Smart Cities in the Making: Smart cities are popping up worldwide. From connected street lights to pollution-monitoring drones, IoT technology is reshaping urban life.
- Connected Pets: IoT isn’t just for humans! There are smart collars for pets that track their location, monitor their health, and even translate barks into simple messages.
- “Smart Fridges” and Cybersecurity: Believe it or not, your smart fridge can be hacked! Hackers can exploit unsecured IoT devices, like fridges or toasters, to access your home network.
- IoT Saves Energy: Smart thermostats can save up to 15% on energy bills by learning your habits and optimizing temperature controls automatically.
- Data Traffic Explosion: IoT devices will contribute to over 79 zettabytes of data generated by 2025. To put it in perspective, one zettabyte is roughly a trillion gigabytes!
Embedded Security Fun Facts
-
- Embedded Devices Are Everywhere: From medical devices to automobiles, most of the electronics we use daily have embedded systems designed to perform specific tasks.
- Medical Device Security: Many medical devices, like pacemakers, are vulnerable to hacking. In 2017, the FDA issued its first cybersecurity guidelines specifically for medical devices.
- ATM Security Goes Embedded: Ever wondered why ATMs are so secure? Many use embedded systems specifically designed to protect against tampering and fraud attempts.
- Self-Destruct Mode: Some embedded systems in highly secure environments are programmed to “self-destruct” by wiping all data if tampered with, to protect sensitive information.
- Drones with Embedded Security: Military-grade drones have advanced embedded security to prevent interception or hijacking by malicious actors.
- Cars and Code: Today’s cars run on millions of lines of code, with embedded systems controlling everything from navigation to braking. In fact, a modern car has more code than an F-35 fighter jet!

IoT Security: Securing the Network of Things
The Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionized the way we live and work, connecting devices across homes, industries, and cities. But with connectivity comes vulnerability. Each connected device represents a potential entry point for attackers, making IoT security an essential aspect of any modern security strategy.
Core Aspects of IoT Security:
- Device Authentication: Every device connected to a network must be securely authenticated to prevent unauthorized access.
- Data Encryption: Data transferred between IoT devices must be encrypted to protect it from interception or tampering.
- Secure Firmware Updates: Devices need regular updates to patch security gaps. At Tyd Networks, we ensure seamless, secure firmware updates to keep your IoT ecosystem resilient.
Whether it’s protecting smart cities or securing industrial IoT, Tyd Networks is committed to ensuring that IoT devices operate safely and securely, fostering innovation without compromise.
Embedded Security: Safeguarding Devices from Within
Embedded security focuses on protecting the devices that make up the backbone of modern life. From medical devices to automotive systems, embedded security ensures that sensitive systems perform reliably and securely, even in high-risk environments.
Why Embedded Security Matters:
- Critical Infrastructure Protection: Embedded systems control many critical operations, from power grids to healthcare devices, making their security essential for public safety.
- Resistance to Physical Attacks: Devices in remote or public areas are at risk of tampering. Embedded security measures protect against unauthorized physical access or manipulation.
- Secure Data Storage and Processing: Sensitive data processed within devices, such as medical records, must be securely stored and processed to maintain privacy and regulatory compliance.
