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.

Empowering DSOs to secure the Smart Grid

whitePaper | February 6, 2020

As the world’s growing need for energy meets the power of the Internet of Things, the traditional energy marketplace is rapidly transforming. Millions of meters and energy assets are connected and digitized each year, providing enormous benefits to the entire ecosystem: real time tracking of energy production and consumption data, optimized load balancing systems, streamlined operations and billing systems to name a few. As connectivity expands and the landscape is digitalizing, new distributed energy resources (DERs) and stakeholders are able to integrate into and expand the grid. DERs offer non-carbon resources that improve the energy sector’s overall carbon footprint, a key benefit for everyone.

IoT Redefines Brand Experience and Customer Engagement

whitePaper | February 8, 2023

The Internet of Things (IoT), with its ability to connect devices and enable data exchange through embedded sensors, is garnering much interest across industries. TCS Global Trend 1 Study 2015 , highlights some of the major business model changes that are taking place across industries due to the adoption of the IoT. For the Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) industry, the IoT offers widespread applicability across the value chain. CPG companies are likely to benefit the most by embedding sensors in products or services that touch end users directly, helping them drive consumer engagement throughout the consumption lifecycle. The IoT will also enable CPG companies to understand consumer needs better, thereby improving product designs or service models, leading to better brand loyalty and top-line growth.
