CHENNAI: India has emerged as the ‘most vulnerable’ to cyber attacks<\/a> due to the deployment of Internet<\/a> of Things (IoT) systems. On February 28 this year, the day of heightened tensions between India and Pakistan, the country found itself as the most-targeted nation as it experienced a large spurt in attacks, according to a recent study by cyber security<\/a> firm Subex<\/a>.

The country saw a 22% jump in total number of attacks in the IoT segment during the quarter ended June, the report said. Globally, cyber attacks increased by 13% during the same period. This was also the second consecutive quarter that India topped the list of most-attacked nations in Subex’s study. Singapore, UK, and France were the other countries with a high number of attacks.

The Bengaluru-based Subex captured details of attacks from its “honeypot” network (a decoy computer system for trapping hackers) that covers over 4,000 IoT devices. During the June quarter, Subex researchers recorded 33,450 high-grade attacks, 500 of which were of “very high sophistication”.

As many as 15,000 new samples of
malware<\/a> were discovered this quarter and, in a sign of increased sophistication of threats, 17% of the samples collected were modular malware — an advanced attack on a system that acts in different stages. IoT deployments in India received the maximum number of attacks from a few geographies in Central Europe such as Czech Republic and Poland. “These attacks were originating from a few botnets that we detected in the region. The IP range clearly indicated a significant degree of compromise,” the report said.

Subex MD and CEO Vinod Kumar said there are also strong geopolitical influences seen in some of the attacks on critical infrastructure with patterns of IP-spoofing with an intent to hide the geography of origin. “For instance, on February 28, the day of increased tensions between India and Pakistan, India came up to the first spot as the most attacked nation, with attacks originating from hacker-controlled bot farms,” he said. Even as IoT in India moves from proof of concept to full-scale deployments rapidly, the country’s deep expertise and preparedness level hasn’t kept pace, he added. IoT systems related to smart cities, financial services, and transportation sectors were the top targets for hackers, accounting for over 51% of all cyber attacks registered. Mumbai, Delhi-NCR and Bengaluru were among the most attacked cities.

A Gartner study said that globally IoT deployments are set to surpass 25 billion by 2025. Gartner principal analyst Rajpreet Kaur said that unlike Western economies, the purchase and deployment of IoT devices is largely handled by CTOs in India, with CIOs hardly involved in the entire process.

钦奈:印度已经成为“最脆弱”网络攻击由于部署互联网(物联网)系统的东西。今年2月28日,印度和巴基斯坦两国之间的紧张局势加剧,美国发现自己作为最主要的国家经历了一场巨大的攻击的井喷式增长,根据最近的一项研究网络安全公司Subex

这个国家跃升了22%的总数在物联网领域攻击在截至6月底的季度报告说。在全球范围内,网络攻击同期增加了13%。这也是连续第二个季度,印度位居榜首Subex遭到的攻击国家的研究。新加坡、英国和法国的其他国家有大量的攻击。

的Bengaluru-based Subex捕捉细节的攻击从其“蜜罐”网络(一个诱饵计算机系统捕获黑客)覆盖4000多个物联网设备。6月季度,Subex人员记录33450年高档袭击,其中500是“非常复杂”。

多达15000的新样品恶意软件本季度被发现,在日益复杂的标志的威胁,17%的样本收集是模块化的恶意软件——一个先进的攻击行为的系统在不同的阶段。物联网在印度部署收到几个地域攻击的最大数量在捷克共和国和波兰等欧洲中部。“这些攻击源自几个僵尸网络,我们发现在该地区。IP范围内注明很大程度的妥协,”该报告说。

Subex MD和首席执行官Vinod Kumar说也有强烈的地缘政治影响的一些攻击关键基础设施模式的ip欺骗意图隐藏的地理起源。”例如,2月28日的日子增加了印度和巴基斯坦之间的紧张关系,印度走到第一个点作为最攻击国家,与攻击源自hacker-controlled机器人农场,”他说。即使在印度从物联网的概念迅速全面部署,国家的深厚专业知识和防范水平没有跟上步伐,他补充说。物联网系统与智能城市、金融服务、和运输行业的首要目标是黑客,占51%以上的注册的网络攻击。最袭击孟买、德里首都区和班加罗尔等城市。

Gartner的一项研究称,全球物联网部署到2025年将超过250亿。Gartner首席分析师Rajpreet考尔说,与西方国家不同的是,物联网设备的购买和部署在印度主要是由首席技术官,首席信息官几乎不参与整个过程。
