The Internet of Things (IoT) and Cyber Security Considerations

IoT holds great promises for organizations in streamlining operations, optimizing processes and maximizing employee productivity.However, many IoT devices are not developed taking into account the dangers of the Internet and lack comprehensive security measures. If IoT device security vulnerabilities are overlooked before these devices are connected to an organization’s networks, the vulnerabilities put those networks at risk of attack or intrusion.

Cognitive Twins for Supporting Decision-Makings of Internet of Things Systems

whitePaper | December 3, 2019

Internet of things (IoT) is a network of items embedded with sensors which are connected through the internet [1]. One IoT system consists of computing devices, physical plants and networks defined as a system-of-systems (SoS) [2]. During developing IoT systems, architectural dependencies across the entire SoS are challenged because of the massive compositions among them.

Using eSIM and iSIM will save money for IoT deployments

whitePaper | June 22, 2022

Transforma Insights analysis points to an 8-13% saving to be made on lifetime connectivity spend by enterprises if they choose eSIM and iSIM options rather than removable plastic SIM cards for their IoT deployments. Embedded SIM (eSIM), and to a lesser extent its coming successor integrated SIM (iSIM), have established themselves as part of the range of capabilities that need to be carefully considered by an organisation when planning a cellular-based IoT solution. Alongside the physical components of eSIM and iSIM.

Creating secure IoT device identities

whitePaper | December 5, 2022

IoT applications are extremely vulnerable to cybersecurity attacks as they control both data access (often personal or sensitive) and connected devices. Without proper security, IoT technology will not grow as projected nor live up to its true potential in the marketplace. This paper focuses on how to create secure IoT device and sensor identities, fostering data access and interaction across devices in a trusted ecosystem.

The Right Approach to Zero Trust for IoT Devices

whitePaper | May 18, 2022

Networking and security teams have historically relied on protections at the network perimeter to secure the entire enterprise. The internal network was deemed trusted and secure. While everything outside was considered “dirty,” everything on the internal network was considered “clean,” and application traffic would flow unrestricted. However, recent and developing shifts in enterprise working models are having a far-reaching effect on the traditionally managed network perimeter for security.
