Thales and Telstra, Australia's leading telecommunications company are working with Microsoft and Arduino to pave the way for scalable security for connected IoT devices, by implementing a solution that enables trusted and secure end-to-end communication between device and cloud. That's why Thales, Telstra, Microsoft and Arduino decided to team up to work on a solution that addresses the challenge of securely and efficiently connecting IoT devices to clouds in the most simplified way and through cellular networks.
That's the finding from a survey from Axonius, which reveals how trends including the ever-increasing number of end-user devices, rapid cloud adoption, and the looming IoT explosion are leading to increased complexity and risk and decreased visibility. Pressure on IT and security teams to deal with major security gaps.
In an interview at RSA 2020, Greg Young, the vice present of cybersecurity at Trend Micro, said that companies need to focus on cloud security posture management to make sure all cloud instances...
More than half of all internet of things devices are vulnerable to medium- or high-severity attacks, meaning that enterprises are sitting on a "Ticking IoT time bomb," according to Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 research team. One big takeaway for me is that you found that more than half of IoT devices are vulnerable to medium- or high-severity attacks, making IoT the low-hanging fruit for attackers.
Everbridge, the global leader in critical event management, announced that the company has unveiled new CEM capabilities across the Internet of Things for corporate, government and healthcare organizations to protect their people, assets, operations, supply chain and brand from critical events such as coronavirus. With the number of IoT devices expected to approach 75 billion by 2025, the Everbridge CEM platform enables organizations to utilize vast amounts of electronic data, including IoT sensors, to digitally transform how they manage the safety and security of their employees, customers, patients, first responders, residents, and visitors, as well as the resiliency of their operations and supply chain.
Santa Clara, Calif-based Ordr has announced additional funding to the Series B funding round announced in December 2019. Ordr was founded in 2015 by Pandian Gnanaprakasam and Sheausong Yang to provide security for the rapidly expanding IoT ecosphere.
Security firm Kaspersky has released a report with startling statistics about IoT security, including the fact that nearly a third of companies with IoT systems faced attacks targeting internet-connected devices in 2019. Many IoT devices will have security certificates that verify their level of security and the best way to protect them.
Seemingly everywhere you turn these days there is some announcement about 5G and the benefits it will bring, like greater speeds, increased efficiencies, and support for up to one million device connections on a private 5G network. Using IoT devices without a private 5G network or adequate technical knowledge could put organizations' and their employees' privacy at risk.
They include everything from baby monitors to Wi-Fi chips. One such device is a connected vacuum cleaner, the Trifo Ironpie M6. According to researchers with Checkmarx, the vacuum has several high-severity flaws that open the device to remote attacks.
