Realizing the Promise of the Internet of Things

March 1, 2016

Many technology trends remain hype and rarely make it to the realm of our everyday reality. Internet of Things (IoT) started off as being futuristic, something to be aspired to, but difficult to apply in the way we live or run businesses. However, today organizations are slowly uncovering the potential of connected devices and sensors that communicate and interact with each other. Organizations are discovering ways to generate business value from IoT, thanks to the proliferation of cloud based services and analytics. The quality of real-time information from IoT related technologies will take the guesswork out of decision-making. And yet, despite the myriad opportunities it offers, IoT adoption has been relatively slow till date. This could be due to the lack of preparedness by businesses with respect to the infrastructure and processes required to deploy – and realize the full potential of – this disruptive technology.

Different Dimensions of IOT Security

whitePaper | December 20, 2019

IOT is wirelessly connecting things to the internet using sensors, RFID’s and remotely accessing and managing them over our phone or through our voice. IOT uses various communication protocols such as Zigbee, 6LowPan, Bluetooth and has bi directional communication for exchange of information. The database for IOT is cloud which is also vulnerable to security threats. The increasing amount of popularity of IoT and its pervasive usage has made it more recurrent to prominent cyber-attacks such as botnet attack, IoT ransom ware, DOS attack, RFID hack.

The Disruptions of 5G on Data-driven Technologies and Applications

whitePaper | December 18, 2019

With 5G on the verge of being adopted as the next mobile network, there is a need to analyze its impact on the landscape of computing and data management. In this paper, we analyze the impact of 5G on both traditional and emerging technologies and project our view on future research challenges and opportunities. With a predicted increase of 10-100x in bandwidth and 5-10x decrease in latency, 5G is expected to be the main enabler for smart cities, smart IoT and efficient healthcare, where machine learning is conducted at the edge.

How to meet the IoT security requirements of today and tomorrow

whitePaper | July 4, 2023

Governments around the world are creating Internet of Things (IoT) security legislation and regulations designed to keep users safe in an increasingly connected world. Connectivity is good and, in fact, great but bad things can happen to people with unprotected or poorly protected IoT devices. Failing to meet government regulations or guidelines may lead to the inability to sell products in a region and thus to lost revenue. However, the regulations are constantly in a state of flux. This white paper provides updated background on what governments are suggesting or requiring as well as specific details on how to implement security defenses and obtain security certifications that can satisfy current and even future government requirements
