Securing the Future– Designing Security for the Internet of Things

March 1, 2016

When it comes to preparing for the global information economy of the 21st century, most people assume that the existing IT community and its army of technologists are taking care of all the “details” – particularly securing the devices and data that will continue to grow exponentially. They take it on faith that the best possible tools and designs for securing transactions and managing information are already in place. That is potentially a huge unfounded assumption. This paper examines a new and unique approach to securely enabling the growing number and diversity of devices connecting to the Internet. Mocana demonstrates that it is possible to migrate gracefully and securely to “the Internet of billions upon billions of things” if we first accept that the tools available today were not designed for the tasks they are now routinely performing.

Securing Devices in Advanced Metering Infrastructures

whitePaper | January 8, 2020

Smart grid managers and Head End System (HES) vendors depend on data to drive their business. Receiving and analyzing accurate data from grid endpoints - the smart meters - is the main element that determines business success. Their customers, Distribution System Operators (DSOs) and Advanced Metering Infrastructures (AMI) managers, then use this data for crucial processes: monitoring energy demand and production, load shifting to maintain a persistent grid balance at all times and billing customers. Each tiny bit of data is the starting point for monetization and asset management and it must be accurate and trusted in order to keep power flowing.
