Forescout researchers have discovered nine vulnerabilities affecting nine different TCP/IP stacks widely used in IoT and OT devices. The vulnerabilities are due to weak Initial Sequence Number generation, and could be exploited to mount limited DoS attacks against the vulnerable devices, to inject malicious data on a device, or to bypass authentication.
CloudLinux announced that its KernelCare service now supports the Raspberry Pi platform providing live patching for the running kernel with zero downtime - improving security for IoT deployments. KernelCare for Raspberry Pi is a free service ensuring that IoT devices and assemblies are automatically updated and always available.
Enterprise IoT security company Armis on Wednesday announced another major funding round that brings its valuation to $2 billion. Armis said it raised $125 million in the latest round, which brings the total investment secured by the company to $300 million.
CloudLinux has added the Raspberry Pi to its KernelCare patching service, although only if you're running Ubuntu. The arrival of the service is a recognition of the diminutive computer's presence in the IoT world, where implementations tend to be more on the appliance side and ongoing security updates are not always applied.
Soracom announced a new flat rate pricing plan that allows companies deploying IoT solutions in the U.S. and Canada to reduce overall connectivity costs 30 percent to 60 percent over other IoT connectivity providers. IoT manufacturers, product developers and businesses can now take advantage of easy-to-use IoT connectivity with a large coverage footprint in the United States and Canada, while gaining more predictable monthly and annual pricing for their IoT deployments through Soracom's commitment-free pricing model.
Renesas Electronics Corporation announced the expansion of its RA4 Series microcontrollers with 12 new RA4M2 Group MCUs. The highly power-efficient RA4M2 Group offer a market-leading operating current of only 80 µA/MHz in active mode, and low standby current of 0.7 mA. Even with these leading specifications, the new devices have an extremely fast wakeup time from standby of 30 µs. With operating frequencies up to 100 MHz, the RA4M2 MCUs are ideal for performance hungry, low power applications such as industrial and IoT edge devices.
