About this episode

Rob King discusses the risks associated with white-labeled devices in modern networks.

Many devices on modern networks aren’t what their labels claim. This episode, Rob King, Director of Applied Security Research at runZero, explores white-labeled surveillance and IoT hardware, why some vendors are banned by governments, and how hidden risks can spread across enterprises. Discovery, device fingerprinting, and protocol analysis reveal what’s really connected—and why knowing your true inventory is now essential for security, compliance, and trust.
