In this talk, Mikko Hypponen delivers an eye-opening exploration of the best–and worst–things the internet has given us.

We can't eliminate all our iot smart devices, most of them have become necessary objects rather than a convenience and we can't add anything like a software firewall or antivirus to make them more be secure. We can only make them use a separate vlan so that they are not allowed to interfere with our regular network.
