IoT and big data brought together in commercial use cases

Several of these IoT scenarios are very end-user oriented, e.g. driven by crowd funding and the Maker Movement. Examples include the Pebble smart watch, the innovative Tile product (a “Thing” locator) or the smart Hue light bulbs. However, many IoT examples are more focused on industrial applications, including fleet management, telematics, smart metering and smart grids, telehealth, and so on. In this post, I will introduce two use cases from retail & logistics and the industrial area with a particular focus on how big data can be leveraged.

Who should lead the push for IoT security?

Article | February 10, 2020

The ease with which internet of things devices can be compromised, coupled with the potentially extreme consequences of breaches, have prompted action from legislatures and regulators, but what group is best to decide? Both the makers of IoT devices and governments are aware of the security issues, but so far they haven’t come up with standardized ways to address them. The challenge of this market is that it’s moving so fast that no regulation is going to be able to keep pace with the devices that are being connected,” said Forrester vice president and research director Merritt Maxim. “Regulations that are definitive are easy to enforce and helpful, but they’ll quickly become outdated.”The latest such effort by a governmental body is a proposed regulation in the U.K. that would impose three major mandates on IoT device manufacturers that would address key security concerns.
