Identiv, Inc., global digital security and identification leader in the Internet of Things (IoT), today announced the first activation of its bitse.io IoT platform for brand engagement within a foundation. Identiv enabled near-field communication (NFC) tags and activated its dynamic bitse.io platform to support the Nashville Predators Foundation’s annual WineFest fundraising event.

bitse.io is a powerful IoT platform combining physical IoT-enabled tags and data management, spanning radio-frequency identification (RFID), near-field communication (NFC), Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), and other active engagement solutions with capabilities for tag commissioning, consumer experience, and data analytics. The platform is easy to manage and experiences are simple to set up, even on-the-spot at events with multiple vendors.

Eighty-eight Nashville Predators WineFest wine, spirits, and food vendors were presented with the opportunity to create a custom mobile menu on the bitse.io platform. Attendees accessed these menus by tapping their mobile devices to Identiv NFC tags affixed to products at each vendor's table. The tap allowed attendees to access exclusive, custom content from each vendor, like more in-depth information about a particular wine, distribution information, buy now options, and more.

All proceeds from WineFest go to support the Predators Foundation, which directly impacts the youth and their families in the Nashville community. "We are thrilled to have provided our innovative bitse.io platform to support the Predators Foundation," said Amir Khoshniyati, VP/GM IoT Business, Identiv. "Helping each vendor create a custom mobile menu enhanced and elevated attendee engagement. We are pleased to have contributed to the success of this year’s WineFest fundraiser and be able to support the family-focused mission of the Predators Foundation.”

Identiv’s innovative IoT-enabling RFID and NFC solutions verify identities and security, and are embedded in billions of everyday objects, including medical devices, packaging, mobile device accessories, books, athletic apparel, wine and spirits, perishables, and pharmaceuticals.

The Business Value of Dell Technologies APEX Multicloud and As-a-Service Solutions

IDC’s research demonstrates that enterprise organizations are prioritizing digital infrastructure (DX) resiliency as a foundational element of their IT strategy. Organizations are looking for richer levels of visibility, cross-platform control, advanced data management, and protection that spans the entire ecosystem, including public or private cloud, on premises, colocation facility, and edge. DX initiatives rely on data-driven insights to deliver competitive differentiation, increased customer engagement, streamlined business operations, increased staff productivity, and growth in revenue and profitability. IT infrastructure is one of the crucial pillars of DX. In fact, DX cannot succeed without IT transformation, aligned with business strategy to meet or exceed service-level objectives for data-driven insights. Because of this realization, organizations are now focused on managing outcomes instead of IT infrastructure and looking to vendors and partners to help reach this goal.

Consumer Technology Association Joins White House to Support Cybersecurity Labeling Program to Protect Consumers from IoT Attacks

prnewswire | July 20, 2023

The Consumer Technology Association (CTA) today joined officials from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the National Security Council (NSC) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for the launch of the U.S. Cyber Trust Mark program to give consumers more information about the cybersecurity of the Internet of Things (IoT)-connected products they buy. "While walking CES this year, I saw IoT products that improve healthcare, transportation and energy efficiency. While IoT makes our world better, it also tempts bad actors to exploit consumers' connected devices," said CTA president and CEO Gary Shapiro. "Research shows consumers want more information on the safety and security of their connected devices, and we agree." Today's announcement is a prime example of what can be accomplished through public-private cooperation. This announcement was informed by recommendations that CTA made over the past five years. The program relies on a voluntary, dynamic product certification program that requires manufacturers to use specific security measures. That certification will help educate consumers and businesses about new connected products they're evaluating or purchasing. CTA has a proven track record seeding and leading public-private collaborations, as evidenced by its recent work with industry and the FDA to bring over-the-counter hearing aids to tens of millions of Americans. In the coming days, the FCC will launch the rulemaking process to support the Cyber Trust program. Consumers can expect to see certification-ready products at CES 2024. In the interim, CTA will continue to convene manufacturers, alliances, universities, consumer advocates, and CTA's own ANSI accredited standards body to work with federal officials as they craft final rules governing the program. As the FCC works to stand up the Cyber Trust Mark program, CTA, as the voice of the tech industry, will show that government and industry can work together to strengthen incentives for participation, and ensure manufacturers and retailers embrace this critical program. "CTA's work created the foundation for the U.S. Cyber Trust Mark to help consumers identify secure products," said Michael Bergman, Vice President, Technology and Standards, CTA. "This program will minimize label footprint on packaging, while allowing for flexibility in displaying web pages for specific security parameters to consumers for participating devices." Today's announcement was held at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building and included a trade-show-style exhibition showcasing the latest technology in internet-connected consumer products, including TVs, washing machines, and a range of consumer appliances. About Consumer Technology Association As North America's largest technology trade association, CTA® is the tech sector. Our members are the world's leading innovators – from startups to global brands – helping support more than 18 million American jobs. CTA owns and produces CES® – the most influential tech event in the world.
