Security at the Expense of Privacy

Abstract

The security field has been increasing in recent years. Smart devices have enabled people to monitor and be connected remotely to their homes. Therefore, in the technology field, we must provide people with the knowledge to take full advantage of these devices while ensuring that their privacy has not been compromised or exposed. The challenge is to understand the responsibility of acquiring a security or monitor camera and the considerations we must keep in mind while installing and configuring a system. People are continually monitoring the wireless systems around us, searching specifically for admin accounts. If our camera system's configuration is the default one, we are putting our devices and privacy at risk. The purpose of using our secure passwords for the admin accounts is to restrict the possibilities of people accessing our system without our authorization. Key Terms ⎯ admin accounts, smart devices, wireless, vulnerabilities
