Imagine the chaos that would ensue if dozens of different manufacturers and organizations decided to launch different competing protocols and systems for managing IoT security. Not only would the lack of integration be a problem, but it could also be used as an excuse for little or no security of systems and data. The fact is that it is comparable to what is happening in the IoT market right now. Many IoT hardware manufacturers have their own methods of implementing and updating security.

Imagine the chaos that would ensue if dozens of different manufacturers and organizations decided to launch different competing protocols and systems for managing IoT security. Not only would the lack of integration be a problem, but it could also be used as an excuse for little or no security of systems and data.

Every device that connects to the internet is automatically assigned a unique code, the IP address. This IP address can be seen as the name of the device, so that everything that happens online can be traced back to the user. There are several options for establishing mobile connections:
Now that the Covid-19 pandemic seems to be over, it is the right time for the Internet of Things to develop further in 2022. In this article we will discuss five IoT trends.
Cisco Control Center is the sim management system that Thingsdata mainly uses to monitor and manage the IoT connectivity of devices on a large scale. The sim management system automatically provides the control and visibility organizations need to deploy their IoT devices (local or global). The Cisco sim management system is suitable for different implementations and business structures. Customers can protect devices from breaches and unauthorized access. In this article we will discuss a number of basic functionalities of the Cisco sim management system.
When you start using hardware, it is always useful to consider the reliability of the hardware. Not only the reliability of the service provided by the supplier, but also whether you can trust that the hardware has all the necessary protections and functions. Let’s take a look at some of the essential features that increase the reliability of IoT hardware such as routers and gateways.
IP-SEC VPN, is a standard for securing the internet protocol (IP) by means of encryption and/or authentication on all IoT data packets. IP-SEC stands for Internet Protocol Security and VPN for Virtual Private Network.
On the one hand, it secures the IoT data packets by means of encryption and on the other hand, it watches over the exchange of these packets. A lot of IoT data is sensitive information and therefore good security is required from the network of which installations, equipment and sensors are part.
The IP-SEC VPN + private APN constructions of Thingsdata are usually structured via a provider, so that the IOT data is not transported over the public internet, but over a closed network (closed internet environment) that is operated by the provider. This provider has end-to-end control over all components of the network.
Research shows that the security of IoT devices is decreasing. With the increasement of IoT devices, organizations are increasingly vulnerable to new and increasingly creative attacks.
Attackers who manage to intercept IoT data can often analyze it freely. Unfortunately, the vast majority of all IoT data is not yet encrypted. With the advent of IoT, the risks are increasing and the likelihood of personal and confidential data leaking increases.
Attackers use known vulnerabilities and password attacks with default passwords on the most deployed IoT devices. Thingsdata can advise and guide organizations in securing against these types of attacks.
With a private APN, IoT devices are more securely connected to their own network. The private APN ensures that when an IoT device wants to reach the network, it is routed to its own network. Only IoT devices from one organization are on the private APN.
The Ubirch solution secures sensor data directly at the source, on the M2M simcard and not after it is stored in a Blockchain cloud.
Ubirch has a “trusted” protocol, which guarantees that the data from the sensors cannot be falsified after their origin. The data packets from sensors are sealed and provided with very strong encryption, in a way that makes it technically impossible to manipulate the sensor data once stored by means of Blockchain.
