IOT PLATFORMS:The central backbone for the Internet of Things

March 1, 2016

IoT platforms are the central piece in the Internet of Things architecture that connect the real and the virtual worlds and enable communication between objects.McKinsey2 estimates that “40 percent of the total value that can be unlocked with the Internet of Things requires different IoT systems to work together”. In its most simple form, an IoT platform is just about enabling connectivity between objects. In a more sophisticated form, the platform consists of a variety of important building blocks: Connectivity & normalization, device management, database, processing & action management, analytics,visualization, additional tools, and external interfaces.

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.
