Internet of things (IoT) application and rollout has been rapid, disrupting and streamlining processes in a variety of industries, However, it has created a situation where “today’s IoT security is lightweight compared to enterprise application security” , creating a need for IoT security solutions than many of the insufficient and fragmented options.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is increasingly becoming a part of our homes, businesses, and public services with a wide range of uses from ‘smart’ home appliances to complex industrial tools. With the increasing adoption and application of IoT devices, they have also become increasingly targeted by malicious actors looking to take advantage of opportunities to access them.

The Internet of Things (IoT) has been a rapidly implemented technology, with estimates suggesting that there will be over 50 billion devices connected to the internet by 2020. This number includes not only traditional computing devices, but also a wide range of “smart” devices including cars, appliances, and even medical implants. As these devices become more and more common, the need for effective security management becomes increasingly important.

The explosive growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) is changing the way we live, with over 27 billion connected devices by 2020, it’s no wonder that businesses are looking to IoT solutions to improve efficiency and drive innovation. However, with this increased connectivity comes a variety of new security threats that need to be addressed. In this article, we will discuss best practice guidelines for managing your IoT security.

According to Gartner, 20 percent of organizations have experienced at least one attack on IoT tech in the past three years. Unsecured network connections with Internet access compromise data privacy. Through them, third parties can gain remote control over the device.

AI is awesome! It can do so much for us, much faster and broader than we can do ourselves. All of AI’s benefits are great, assuming the data is trustworthy. Sure, algorithms can detect and remove outliers, but what if your corrupt data does not reside in the outliers? You can only trust the data when you establish trust at the source of the data. How often have we been conversing with a friend who is relaying information from their friend?

Why You Need a Credential Manager For Your Devices Before joining Device Authority, I gave my home IoT security exposure very little thought, and I continued to add to it. Now, I have a plethora of devices in my home including, Smart appliances, Wi-Fi lights and sockets, wireless security video, and Wi-Fi-enabled active home power monitoring, to name a few.

As manufacturers dash headlong into smart factory initiatives, the number of IoT devices operating in factories, warehouses, and across supply chain infrastructure is exploding. Manufacturers seek to utilize IoT in a range of places, be it video camera inspection devices on the assembly line, temperature sensors on refrigeration units, or maintenance telemetry sensors on factory equipment.

Machine Identities, Zero Trust….how do these relate to your IoT project? Today’s PKI vendors have specific solutions for managing non-human identities – machines – like servers, laptops, software applications, API’s and other assets found within a corporate network.

The internet of things (IoT) is a system of interconnected computers, devices, digital machines, and objects, all marked with unique identifiers (UIDs) and enabled to transfer and share data over a network. It was first coined by Kevin Ashton in 1999 when he envisioned a future where things communicated with each other, apart from human interaction With the evolution of web-enabled smart homes and smart devices in nearly every corner of life, IoT attack surfaces begin to emerge.
