The U.S. House of Representatives this week passed the IoT Cybersecurity Improvement Act, a bill whose goal is to improve the security of IoT devices. First introduced in 2017 and reintroduced in 2019, the IoT Cybersecurity Improvement Act will now have to pass the Senate before it can be signed into law by the president.
A team of academic researchers have discovered a Bluetooth Low Energy vulnerability that allows spoofing attacks that could affect the way humans and machines carry out tasks. It potentially impacts billions of Internet of Things devices, researchers said, and remains unpatched in Android devices.
Digi International announced the latest release of Digi Remote Manager, its device and network management cloud platform. Digi Remote Manager expands its ability to simplify device deployment and maintenance, ensure network uptime and security, and provides new levels of network management so that the network team is not required to change their business processes to accommodate rigid network tools.
ADTRAN will offer cost-effective solutions that enable service providers, cloud providers and IoT sensor providers to better support the millions of IoT sensors connecting to the access network, diversify their customer base and generate new revenue opportunities. According to the Mordor Intelligence IoT Market Forecast, the global IoT market is expected to reach a value of $1.2561 trillion by 2025 at a CAGR of 10.53% during the period of 2020-2025.
Advanced building controls can help keep air clean to reduce the risk of the spreading coronavirus indoors while sensors can send an alert if a room goes over capacity.
The new technique provides possibility to analyze data directly on compressed files, and it may have a major impact on the so-called "Data tsunami" from massive amounts of IoT devices. "Today, if you need just 1 Byte of data from a 100 MB compressed file, you usually have to decompress a significant part of the whole file to access to the data. Our technology enables random access to the compressed data. It means that you can access 1 Byte data at the cost of only decompressing less than 100 Bytes, which is several orders of magnitude lower compared to the state-of-the-art technologies. This could have a huge impact on data accessibility, data processing speed and the cloud storage infrastructure," says Associate Professor Qi Zhang from Aarhus University.
The exponential growth of IoT devices brings a new challenge: how to effectively manage and monitor large numbers of connected devices that may be hard to access in widely-scattered remote locations? To answer this challenge, Innodisk has combined its expertise with DFI, to bring DFI's RemoGuard remote management system to its customers.
Details tied to a pair of remote code execution bugs in Microsoft's IoT security platform called Azure Sphere were released Monday. Public disclosure of all four of the bugs piggyback on six vulnerabilities found in July also impacting Microsoft's Azure Sphere.
The burgeoning smart home device market has given rise to digital intrusion and potential energy market manipulation on a massive scale. By 2025, it's been estimated that there will be 481 million smart homes worldwide, according to a Statista's 2020 Digital Market Outlook.
According to a report by ABI Research, asset tracking device shipments will see a 51% year-on-year device shipment growth rate through 2024. Expanding LPWAN coverage, technological maturity, and the associated miniaturization of sophisticated devices are key to moving asset tracking from traditionally high-value markets to low-value high-volume markets, which will account for most of the tracker connection and shipment numbers.
