Faraday Technology Corporation announced that its SoReal! 2.0 Virtual Platform has been successfully deployed in an Industrial IoT ASIC project, enabling the SoC to run Linux within just a few days, which includes Linux drivers, ROM code, and security boot. By integrating VDKs into the ASIC design and validation process, this SoReal! 2.0 virtual platform gives customers the ability to launch both virtual and FPGA-based prototypes allowing full system bring up long before silicon is available.
A critical vulnerability has been disclosed in hardware random number generators used in billions of Internet of Things devices whereby it fails to properly generate random numbers, thus undermining their security and putting them at risk of attacks. "It turns out that these 'randomly' chosen numbers aren't always as random as you'd like when it comes to IoT devices," Bishop Fox researchers Dan Petro and Allan Cecil said in an analysis published last week.

NetWitness IoT provides enterprises with security monitoring for disparate IoT and OT devices at scale, by monitoring gateways, servers, and the attached devices for behavioral anomalies, coupled with advanced threat intelligence, to produce focused and actionable alerts. The IoT is driving an explosion of connected devices on company networks, dramatically expanding the surface area that organizations must defend and creating a significant strain on operational security.
EMQ announced that EMQ X Cloud is now available on Microsoft Azure. EMQ X Cloud is a fully managed MQTT service built on the worldwide used open-source MQTT broker - EMQ X, which has more than 10 million downloads and hundreds of thousands of deployments around the globe.
Wiliot announced it received $200 million in a Series C funding round led by SoftBank Vision Fund 2i. Wiliot has created a platform that is built on Wiliot IoT Pixels and the Wiliot Cloud. Wiliot IoT Pixels are tiny low-cost, self-powered tags that attach to any product or packaging to sense a range of physical and environment data that is then fed into the Wiliot Cloud, where machine learning algorithms translate data into actionable insights for businesses across a range of industries.
Full transparency: Curtis Simpson, CISO at Armis, the enterprise IoT security company, was fundamentally a black hat at the age of 12, before he even knew what a black hat was. That mindset comes in handy in the space of OT and ICS: in other words, the world of operational technology, - the computing systems used to manage industrial operations - and industrial control systems.
Combining high-performance 5G with the 4G LTE capabilities, this solution delivers throughput and reliability for industrial IoT and enterprise networks. "We designed the S2000e to provide the best possible 5G connection for any routing system or endpoint, with maximum speed, reliability and security," said Inseego President Ashish Sharma.
According to ABI Research, ML and AI services are estimated to grow within the IoT domain at a CAGR of nearly 40%, reaching $3.6 billion in 2026. The IoT data analytics market less affected by the pandemic.
About one-quarter of respondents do not incorporate any of the listed measures to protect these devices and many feel as though consumers are not responsible for smart and IoT device security. On Wednesday, NordVPN released a report outlining the proliferation of smart devices and consumer sentiments regarding responsibility for protecting these devices.
