<p>Given the CPU power of modern routers the issue is that they now have resources well in excess of any WAN link to fill said link with traffic and not even break a sweat, security is definitely an area that needs to be consider closely.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p>I am a believer that subscription services from vendors should exist (e.g. Cisco) but major security updates should be free for the lifetime of the device, Having worked in the industry for a long time I can attest to the fact that having a support contract
doesn't mean devices are kept to a regular update schedule, in fact I have replaced failed units under contract in the field that are covered by a SMARTNET and been told to install an IOS many years old because that's what the original device had, not something
I would do if it was a device within my control.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p>I think an open model for security patches does need to be considered for the greater good.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p>Kind Regards,<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Yes there is.<br>
There are a few keywords to focus on however.<br>
<br>
Like 'part'. Technically if just a single IoT device was part of the attack then the media will say it was a IoT attack.<br>
<br>
And 'device'. If you start calling security DVR's IoT devices (arguably they aren't, they are a server) then yep a few thousand of them took part.<br>
<br>
I could be wrong but my impression was the bulk was traditional DDoS and not mostly IoT.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Is there any evidence to suggest that IoT devices played a part on this DDoS? My understanding is we're still dealing with the same problem as ever; unpatched/secured desktops/routers/switches which when you consider how accessible large
amounts of bandwidth is explain the increase in DDoS size.<br>
<br>
Most IoT devices don't enough CPU power to contribute more than 1K sustained. Doesn't mean there's not alot to be done in the security space with IoT, just means there's better targets with greater return.<br>
