IoT, as we know it today, allows us to make our lives easier — but it is not 100% secure. It can be hard to understand why it’s so difficult to come up with a comprehensive cybersecurity standard for IoT. After all, if we can create this technology, we should be able to keep it […]

DevOps came about with the understanding that software development and information technology operations work together to improve deployment frequency, while maintaining service stability. In this process, security was not often part of an original build, but rather “bolted on” afterwards. The new (and better) thinking is DevSecOps, which removes security from its silo and incorporates […]

Machine-to-machine (M2M) communication protocols, which enable machines to “talk” with one another so that commands are communicated and data is transmitted, are indispensable to applications and systems that make use of the internet of things (IoT) and the industrial internet of things (IIoT).Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) is a communication protocol widely used in both IoT and IIoT deployments. […]

IoT security is a complex issue, especially in projects involving hundreds of edge devices in the field. Cloud security and edge security are two very different issues. Edge systems are isolated, and if there is a network disruption the devices need to know how to protect themselves on an individual basis. At Litmus we’ve seen three […]

People, Process, & Technology on Two sides of the Same Coin Who should perform the security of the operations technology (OT) and industrial control system (ICS) in any given company? This is a question I commonly get, which is based on a need to identify the proper structure, governance, staffing, tooling, training, etc., of personnel […]

In this article we discuss how insecure deployments and the lack of well-defined security in M2M technology can be abused to turn into unforeseen problems in critical and large-scale environments like smart factories and cities.M2M technology forms the core of IIoT systems for maintaining smart factories and building smart cities. As more of these connected […]

12 million trucks, or about 5% of vehicles on U.S. roads, are aggregated into fleets for government or commercial use. About 42% of these are connected with telematics Fleet Management System (FMS) for efficiency and compliance with government Electronic Logging Data (ELD) requirements. Typical FMS data captured includes miles driven, time of day, Global Positioning System […]

In the food production industry, high-tech tools and systems are being used to optimize production conditions. But new technology brings new challenges and risks. The world population is expected to reach 9.8 billion in 2050, according to a study published in 2017 by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs. The same study also shows […]

It seems that 2019 is truly the year for Digital Transformation, as almost all of the announcements/sessions we heard today were about Industrial IoT and Industrial cybersecurity. We might be biased as our focus is 100% on IIoT. Here is what we found out today at Hannover Messe: The purpose of Azure Security Center for […]

The IoT Security Institute (IoTSI) announced this week that it has established a collaborative partnership with MEASC and Quill Security Technology. “This partnership acknowledges the increasing importance of a “time to act” approach to cybersecurity in smart cities and critical infrastructure design, operation and ongoing compliance services. Smart Cities are a must have in a smart digital age. They make […]
