The integration provides customers with complete visibility into all devices connected to enterprise networks - managed, unmanaged, IoT - allowing security operations teams to monitor their behavior and respond to malicious activity more efficiently. An estimated 41.6 billion IoT devices will be connected to businesses within the next five years, and attackers are increasingly targeting them to penetrate networks.
Connected devices are becoming more ingrained in our daily lives and the burgeoning IoT market is expected to grow to 41.6 billion devices by 2025. The bill focuses on increasing the security of federal devices with standards provided by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, which will cover devices from development to the final product.
Both models enable product security definition collaboration between OEM, silicon vendors and programming partners to easily define, provision and deploy robust IoT device security using Data I/O's SentriX security deployment platform. "OEMs of all sizes need a simple, cost-effective and integrated method to deploy IoT security," said Michael Tidwell, vice president of marketing and business development of Data I/O Corporation.
Attacks on IoT devices continue to rise at an alarming rate due to poor security protections and cybercriminals use of automated tools to exploit these vulnerabilities, according to Nokia. The report found that internet-connected, or IoT, devices now make up roughly 33% of infected devices, up from about 16% in 2019.
Akamai on Tuesday announced that it has acquired Asavie, an Ireland-based company that provides mobility, IoT and cybersecurity solutions. Asavie has developed a platform that helps enterprises secure their mobile and IoT devices by placing assets inside private network slices.
IoT devices are now responsible for 32.72 percent of all infections observed in mobile and Wi-Fi networks - up from 16.17 percent in 2019. Researchers with Nokia's Threat Intelligence Lab said, in the Threat Intelligence Report 2020 released this week, that they believe that number of IoT infections will continue to grow "Dramatically" as connected devices continue to populate in homes and enterprise settings alike.
Quantum Integration has developed an Internet of Things platform that provides electronic enthusiasts with a complete hardware and software solution. Unlike projects built with Raspberry Pi or Arduino where users must have a programming background, with Quantum's platform no coding is required, making the creation of complex wireless applications faster and easier.
The Internet of Things Security Foundation, an effort aimed at improving the security of IoT, has launched an online platform designed to make the reporting of vulnerabilities in IoT devices easier. Launched alongside a new report into coordinated vulnerability disclosure, the Consumer Internet of Things Vulnerability Disclosure Platform is catered to both security researchers and manufacturers, seeking to ensure coordinated vulnerability disclosure management and reporting.
Semtech has announced two new enabling solutions for its LoRa Edge platform: LoRa Basics Modem-E, a software modem leveraging the LoRaWAN protocol for the LoRa Edge platform that runs inside the LoRa Edge transceiver, and the LoRa Edge Tracker Reference Design, a device-to-Cloud commercial grade reference solution for asset tracking applications. LoRa Basics Modem-E, which forms part of the LoRa Basics library of software tools and solution accelerators, is fully compliant with the LoRaWAN protocol and designed specifically to run on the LoRa Edge hardware platform.
Sequitur Labs announced it has officially joined the NVIDIA Partner Network with full support for the NVIDIA Jetson platform and protection of IP at the edge. Sequitur's EmSPARK Security Suite provides a robust security framework protecting embedded firmware, keys and security-critical assets through the entire device lifecycle.
