🌐 Hidden Cyber Risk in Plain Sight: IoT Devices on Your Network

Smart thermostats, speakers, fridges, TVs, and EV chargers make life easier—but when they share the same Wi-Fi network as your business computers, they can become an open door for cybercriminals.

In today’s Tech Tip from IT Support Specialists (ITSS), we explain how a single compromised IoT device can give attackers a pathway into your entire network.

You’ll learn:
🔍 What counts as an IoT device
⚠️ Why connecting everything to one Wi-Fi network is risky
🔐 How hackers exploit unsecured smart devices
🛠️ Why isolating IoT devices on a separate network matters
🤝 How ITSS helps clients secure their environments—often with no new hardware

The good news? Most business-grade wireless systems already support separate networks—and we help our clients set them up at no additional cost.

🤖 Important Reminder for Anyone Using AI at Work: AI Can Be Wrong

AI tools are incredible for saving time, designing materials, and generating content—but they’re not infallible.

The lesson?
✅ AI works best with human oversight
🔍 Always review AI-generated content
⚠️ Small errors can create big problems if left unchecked

AI can learn and improve—but you are still the quality control.
