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…
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…
As IoT cybersecurity threats increase in both severity and frequency, every
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…
It wasn’t that long ago that IIoT sounded out of reach. Who would have imagined we could control our home’s thermostat or turn on the sprinklers from anywhere in the world? The truth is, while it…
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…
It’s unfortunate that cybercriminals have many different ways of exploiting network vulnerabilities and weak spots in our cyber defenses. Considering that the number of devices we use on a daily basis is growing, more avenues of…
Vulnerabilities in third-party car alarms managed via their mobile applications were uncovered by security researchers at Pen Test Partners. The security flaws reportedly affect around 3 million cars that use these “smart” internet-of-things (IoT) devices. Here’s what you need to…
With the expansion of the Internet of Things come increased cybersecurity concerns. The technology is finding its way into every industry, elevating connectivity and making our lives easier. However, there are downsides to this, and ever-growing…
Smart factories are manifestations of how the industrial internet of things (IIoT) is changing traditional manufacturing. Organizations in the manufacturing sector already have a basic understanding of what smart factories are as well as their capabilities and the advantages…
Confidence that an IoT system will operate in conformance with requirements results from assurance that several characteristics of the system are compliant with these requirements despite environmental disturbances, human errors, system faults and attacks. These characteristics…
“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” That common phrase once defined manufacturing’s approach to optimization. But today, enterprises are painfully aware that smarter production lines and more efficient processes can save them millions in downtime…
