Amazon Sidewalk Raises Privacy and Security Concerns
DougOlenick) • June 3, 2021
Devices such as Amazon s Ring cameras will be part of the company s Sidewalk low-bandwidth network.
Internet of things security professionals are expressing concern over Amazon s new Sidewalk - a low-bandwidth network program that will allow some of the company s connected and internet of things devices to share Wi-Fi access even outside an owner s home.
Amazon s ability to properly secure Sidewalk and what the company might do with the data collected by this new program have raised a few eyebrows in the security industry even as the company says it has worked through the security aspect and will not have access to the information gathered and transmitted.
