IOT security

IOT with Thingsdata

The term IoT is incredibly broad and as the technology continues to evolve, the number of devices has only grown. This involves several risks, organizations must seriously consider the increasing number of insecure IoT devices. IoT security is the convergence of techniques, strategies and tools that are used to prevent IoT devices from being compromised. Thingsdata offers various IoT security applications.

Starting points

Risk analysis and readiness

Make an inventory of what valuable data your IoT project generates and who would benefit if it was stolen. Weigh the chance of success against the impact. Determine your risk readiness based on this, many organizations do not have the resources to tackle all risks immediately. Then start with the risks that will have the greatest impact.

Trust nothing, validate everything

Validate all your devices with IoT security. Monitor all your devices, assess all risks, see how the devices behave and secure every digital interaction. By being constantly aware of all risks throughout the lifecycle, actions can be taken to enforce protections and defend your organization against cyber-attacks.

Network Access Control blind spots

Confidently segment IoT devices and apply a Zero Trust policy to prevent threats by eliminating NAC blind spots. Get device segmentation through in-depth device profiling, assessment, and policy enforcement. IoT security integrates with NAC technologies to eliminate the blind spots of IoT devices.

Encryption

Data exchanges from IoT devices are vulnerable to third parties and hackers unless encryption is used to protect the data. Combine encryption with authentication to prevent harmful cyber attacks, otherwise the attacker could set up separate encrypted connections between IoT devices.

AIC-triad (availability, integrity and confidentiality)

The AIC triad ensures the security of your IoT data and systems. This combination ensures that you can act with certainty and that your IoT solution is always available, especially if you have a mission critical solution. AIC provides confidence in the security of your internal data and systems.

Software and firmware updates

When a new software or firmware update is released by the hardware manufacturer, it is important that you follow it. Updates eliminate vulnerabilities that attackers could exploit. If you do not have the latest software or firmware an IoT device can become more vulnerable to attacks.

Company security

Business security consists of the tools, people, and processes an organization uses to: manage access to company assets, deter potential threats, and ensure the safety of employees and company assets. Limit access to company data, choose strong passwords and protect your business premises against burglary.
