Microsoft announced the results of a bug-bounty effort directed at its Azure Sphere IoT platform. The company gathered 40 submissions and paid 16 bounties to find vulnerabilities. The Azure Sphere is a relatively new player in the IoT ecosystem, and while Microsoft makes it, it uses a custom Linux kernel. Because it aims to be a secure environment to deploy and use IoT devices, it has to deal with the most significant issue the ecosystem faces today security. Because developers patch the vulnerabilities found, it doesn’t mean the platform is now completely secure.”]
