TrustInSoft announced an Application Security Test specifically designed to mathematically guarantee bug-free code in embedded Internet of Things devices. This AST for IoT is based on TrustInSoft's Analyzer to provide the equivalent of static and dynamic code analysis of C/C++ source code using Formal Methods testing to guarantee the absence of undefined source code behaviors.
With four million subscribers today, Rakuten Mobile continues to advance and scale its network to support new demands driven by the growth of remote and mobile workers. With the implementation of Segment Routing over IPv6 and Cisco Routed Optical Networking, Rakuten Mobile plans to expand its capabilities to support enterprise customers with 5G and IoT services.
IoT is advancing the technical lives of millions, with the network of connected devices becoming more populated with each passing year. As a result, networking issues such as packet loss and jitter can dramatically impact how well IoT devices perform.
Vulnerabilities in firmware are a steadily growing percentage of the new issues added to the NIST National Vulnerability Database: five times as many attacks are happening as only four years ago. All that is why Microsoft is buying ReFirm Labs, home of the open-source Binwalk tool, whose Centrifuge firmware platform automates the process of running static analysis to discover what firmware vulnerabilities you're already exposed to.
Security and the promise of IoT. The promise of IoT is that sensors will become much less expensive to integrate and maintain, and therefore they will become far more ubiquitous. As IoT devices become more numerous, less capable, and less personalized, they create a Pandora's box of security concerns.
Sequitur Labs introduced its EmPOWER Service, a new cloud-based offering that securely monitors, manages and updates IoT devices to address technical, IP, supply chain and business-process challenges faced by IoT developers and manufacturers dealing with the acceleration of Artificial Intelligence at the network edge. Sequitur's EmPOWER Platform introduces Trust-as-a-Service to edge devices.
Byos announced the launch of the Byos Industrial μGateway, a plug-and-play, edge security product that provides secure connectivity for Internet of Things devices and legacy infrastructures. Delivering zero trust security through micro-segmentation, the Byos Industrial μGateway also provides secure remote access for IoT devices through its unique Secure Lobby feature, enabling remote monitoring and management of industrial systems with no network or endpoint exposure.
Cinterion IoT Suite Connectivity Activation by Thales simplifies and digitalises cellular connectivity and the daily operations of industrial IoT device manufacturers and service providers. Thales system shortens device installation: Thanks to a remote activation process, the IoT eSIM automatically downloads the MNO profile that best suits the device location and connects to the network according to the service providers' pre-defined business rules.
Microsoft's aggressive push to ferret out security problems in the firmware powering IoT devices took on new urgency this week with the acquisition of ReFirm Labs, an early-stage startup that helps businesses pinpoint and fix weak links at the firmware layer. According to Microsoft's David Weston, the ReFirm Labs technology will be offered as a feature in the Azure Defender for IoT product.
Western Digital announced its new embedded flash platform for Universal Flash Storage 3.1 to enable new applications in mobile, automotive, IoT, AR/VR, drones and other emerging segments that are reshaping the way we live, work and play. In an increasingly mobile world of always on, always connected and always available, Western Digital's unique UFS 3.1 platform, based on the JEDEC-compliant UFS 3.1 specification, provides the speed, reliability and feature versatility that customers count on to build small, thin and lightweight solutions.
