The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of interconnected physical objects that are embedded with different kinds of technology, such as sensors, processors, transceivers, or actuators. This technology allows IoT devices to collect and exchange data with each other over the internet or through dedicated wireless networks, enabling them to interact with the physical world in various ways. As the number of IoT devices continues to grow, so too does the need for proper security measures.

Rapid digitization means that organizations are now more connected than ever. Most organizations now host a combination of interconnected IT, OT, IoT and sometimes IoMT devices in their networks, which has increased their attack surface. Forescout’s data shows that around 24% of connected devices in every organization are no longer traditional IT.

The most recent White House announcement detailing the US National Cybersecurity Strategy puts forth some important priority objectives.

Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is a set of policies, and procedures needed to create, manage, distribute, use, store, and revoke digital certificates. The purpose of PKI is to facilitate secure electronic communications by authenticating users and devices. Organizations that use PKI can be assured that their messages are confidential and tamper-proof because each message is encrypted with a unique key that only the intended recipient can decrypt.

Cybersecurity is a top priority for businesses, governments, and individuals alike. With the rise of cybercrime in recent years, it’s more important than ever to ensure that sensitive data is kept safe and secure. That’s where encryption comes in. Encryption is the process of encoding data so that only authorized users can access it. There are two main types of encryption: symmetric and asymmetric encryption.

According to a recent study, machine identities (IDs) are growing at twice the rate of human identities. To defend these machine identities in the IoT, privilege access management will be one of the most important areas of focus for businesses in the Internet of Things (IoT) space in 2023. As more and more devices are connected to the internet and can share data, it’s becoming increasingly important to make sure that only authorized users have access to sensitive information.

Identified as leaders in IoT (Internet of Things) Device Identity Lifecycle Management by ABI Research, and leaders in IoT IAM according to Quadrant, Device Authority and Entrust have worked together to integrate Device Authority’s KeyScaler® IoT IAM (Identity and Access Management) platform with PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) services from Entrust, extending the existing collaboration for Hardware Security Module (HSM) services, to provide device trust, data trust and automation at IoT sca

Every one of your IoT devices has their own machine identity. But how are these identities the key to achieving Zero Trust IoT project? Today’s PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) vendors have specific solutions for managing non-human identities – machines – like servers, laptops, software applications, API’s and other assets found within a corporate network.

The Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionised the way we live and work, connecting devices and systems to the internet and each other to create a more efficient and interconnected world. However, as with any new technology, the IoT comes with its own set of security risks and vulnerabilities. In this blog, we will look at the 10 most common IoT hacks and how to defend against them.

Recently, Device Authority’s CTO James Penney recorded a podcast with Axeda Co-Founder and CTO Jim Hansen. Full disclosure: I was the first Salesperson hired by Axeda in 2001 and I can personally attest that at the time many companies thought we were out of our minds! In the early days, Axeda’s biggest challenge was getting machine makers to use this new thing called the Internet to remotely manage their high value assets in the field.
