Internet of Things: Entering the Realm of Science Fiction

Internet of Things (IoT) refers to connectivity – through wired or wireless networks – between physical objects embedded with sensors and actuators. Machines first started facilitating human-to-human communication with the invention of printing press, telegraphy and telephony. When more intelligent devices (i.e., computers) came along, we saw the first human-machine interactions. IoT represents the third phase in this series, machine-to-machine communication that often goes on without human intervention.

Wi-Fi 6: Leveling Up the Technology

whitePaper | October 17, 2022

The IEEE 802.11 working group, established in 1990, published its first Wi-Fi standard in 1997. Since that time, the rapid adoption of Wi-Fi-enabled devices, streaming services, and applications has provided users with innovative solutions to participate in nearly all facets of daily living—from anywhere and at any time.

INTERNET OF THINGS AND UEI DATA ACQUISITION & CONTROL SYSTEMS

whitePaper | February 5, 2020

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a networked system of interconnected physical objects that have the capability of sharing data with each other and also with a cloud service for archiving and analysis. With IoT, data producing devices can easily publish data, and multiple consumer clients can receive that data from any location in the world.

Powering the Internet of Things with End-to-End Battery Testing

whitePaper | January 24, 2023

Technology is advancing rapidly, transforming many aspects of society, including how we communicate, navigate, and treat diseases. The Internet of Things (IoT) is growing rapidly as there are more electronics than ever to run accurate diagnostics, more sensors to increase autonomy, and better connectivity to avoid interference. Plus, the miniaturization of semiconductor components and advancement in electronic display technologies enables consumer electronic (CE) devices to become compact.

Zero Trust Maturity Model

whitePaper | June 13, 2023

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) leads the nation’s effort to understand, manage, and reduce cybersecurity risk, including by supporting Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies in evolving and operationalizing cybersecurity programs and capabilities. CISA’s Zero Trust Maturity Model (ZTMM) provides an approach to achieve continued modernization efforts related to zero trust within a rapidly evolving environment and technology landscape. This ZTMM is one of many paths that an organization can take in designing and implementing their transition plan to zero trust architectures in accordance with Executive Order (EO) 14028 “Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity” § (3)(b)(ii),1 which requires that agencies develop a plan to implement a Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA). While the ZTMM is specifically tailored for federal agencies as required by EO 14028, all organizations should review and consider adoption of the approaches outlined in this document.
