Hacked Off demystifies the world of cybersecurity. Hosted by Secarma's Managing Director, Holly Grace Williams, it features weekly interviews delving beneath the headlines of the latest hacks, breaches and vulnerabilities, providing expert advice on how to stay safe online. This podcast is brought to you by global cybersecurity and penetration testing company, Secarma.
Following audience responses to Pod 107 with Jason Blake, Secarma Jen Williams has circled back to do a deeper dive into the PSTI legislation and IoT devices.
With the legislation going live at the end of April, any manufacturers that have not yet found a successful route to show compliance should listen to this podcast which goes into finer detail with Jason Blake.
As IASME's IOT scheme manager, Jason shares a selection of ways to navigate the legislation and he and Jen discuss the ways to approach an accreditation that will also help any business and their devices to improve on the journey.
They also look at the wider implications around unsecured internet devices and the likelihood that governing bodies will levy some large fines early on to impress the importance of complying on manufacturers.

107. Jason Blake: IoT and PSTI
Secarma Head of Testing, Simon Chapman, takes over the hosting duties as the Hacked Off podcast returns. Episode 107 focuses on IoT and the new regulations that are forcing manufacturers to place security at the heart of their devices. Simon interviews Jason Blake, IOT scheme manager at IASME and Jen Williams who heads up consultancy services at Secarma.
Jason talks us through the diverse world of IoT devices, from smart letter boxes to B2B moisture content monitors for farmers and explains why the need for tighter security regulation is long overdue.
Jen approaches the subject from a consumer perspective and poses the risks of a home network that has dozens of ‘always on’ devices connected and the average consumers understanding of this situation. How do we give consumers a confidence around IoT that has perhaps been eroded of late?
The panel discuss IASME’s IoT Cyber Secure Scheme and why it’s one of the simplest ways for manufacturers to give their devices the security health checks that they need.
