IoT roundup: VMware, Nokia beef up their IoT

October 28, 2019 TH Author Internet of Things, Security

The major U.S. mobile carriers are eager participants in the rise of IoT, and it’s tough to argue that they don’t have a major role to play – the ability to connect largely anywhere, coupled with the ability to handle high-throughput applications, means that cellular data can be an attractive option for the connectivity piece of an IoT deployment.AT&T announced a deal with Vodafone last week to interconnect their respective narrow-band IoT networks across the Atlantic, mating AT&T’s U.S. coverage with Vodafone’s in western Europe. That means that businesses with NB-IoT deployments in those areas can use that single network to connect their entire implementation. Not to be outdone, Sprint announced that it, too, is rolling out NB-IoT on its Curiosity IoT platform. Sprint shared its plans during a panel discussion at Mobile World Congress in Los Angeles last week.To read this article in full, please click here READ MORE HERE…

Can microsegmentation help IoT security?

October 11, 2019 TH Author IDG Insider, Internet of Things, Network Security, Security

The Internet of Things (IoT) promises some big benefits for organizations, such as greater insights about the performance of corporate assets and finished products, improved manufacturing processes, and better customer services. The nagging security issues related to IoT, unfortunately, remain a huge concern for companies and in some cases might be keeping them from moving forward with initiatives. One possible solution to at least some of the security risks of IoT is microsegmentation, a concept in networking that experts say could help keep IoT environments under control.To read this article in full, please click here(Insider Story) READ MORE HERE…

To secure industrial IoT, use segmentation instead of firewalls

September 11, 2019 TH Author Internet of Things, Networking, Security

The internet of things (IoT) has been top of mind for network and security professionals for the better part of the past five years. This has been particularly true for the area of industrial IoT (IIoT). Connected industrial devices are nothing new, but most IT people aren’t familiar with them because they have been managed by operational technology (OT) teams. More and more, though, business leaders want to bring OT and IT together to drive better insights from the combined data set.While there are many advantages to merging IT and OT and having IIoT fall under IT ownership, it has a profound impact on the cybersecurity team because it introduces several new security threats. Each connected endpoint, if breached, creates a backdoor into the other systems.To read this article in full, please click here READ MORE HERE…

HPE’s vision for the intelligent edge

September 6, 2019 TH Author Data Center, Internet of Things, Networking, SD-WAN, Security

It’s not just speeds and feeds anymore, it’s intelligent software, integrated security and automation that will drive the networks of the future.That about sums up the networking areas that Keerti Melkote, HPE’s President, Intelligent Edge, thinks are ripe for innovation in the next few years.He has a broad perspective because his role puts him in charge of the company’s networking products, both wired and wireless.Now see how AI can boost data-center availability and efficiency
“On the wired side, we are seeing an evolution in terms of manageability,” said Melkote, who founded Aruba, now part of HPE. “I think the last couple of decades of wired networking have been about faster connectivity. How do you go from a 10G to 100G Ethernet inside data centers? That will continue, but the bigger picture that we’re beginning to see is really around automation.” To read this article in full, please click here READ MORE HERE…

IoT security essentials: Physical, network, software

September 3, 2019 TH Author Internet of Things, Security

Even in the planning stages of a deployment, IoT security is one of the chief stumbling blocks to successful adoption of the technology.And while the problem is vastly complicated, there are three key angles to think about when laying out how IoT sensors will be deployed in any given setup: How secure are the device themselves, how many are there and can they receive security patches.Physical access
Physical access is an important but, generally, straightforward consideration for traditional IT security. Data centers can be carefully secured, and routers and switches are often located in places where they’re either difficult to fiddle with discreetly or difficult to access in the first place.To read this article in full, please click here READ MORE HERE…

Top 5 IoT networking security mistakes

August 26, 2019 TH Author Internet of Things, Security

Even though Brother International is a supplier of many IT products, from machine tools to head-mounted displays to industrial sewing machines, it’s best known for printers. And in today’s world, those printers are no longer stand-alone devices, but components of the internet of things.That’s why I was interested in this list from Robert Burnett, Brother’s director, B2B product & solution – basically, the company’s point man for large customer implementations. Not surprisingly, Burnett focuses on IoT security mistakes related to printers and also shares Brother’s recommendations for dealing with the top five.To read this article in full, please click here READ MORE HERE…
