Overview It is almost impossible to underestimate the importance of IoT security. However, businesses appear to be somewhat myopic when it comes to securing their IoT deployments and Proof-of-Concept projects. Enterprise networks across the globe have millions of unmanaged IoT devices connecting to their networks every single day. IoT security breaches are costly operationally and financially bleeding enterprises to the tune of $2.5 million per attack. Despite the high cost associated, security is yet to emerge as the focal point of attention and action for IoT engineers, business heads and developers.

Overview The need of the hour is to protect against cyber threats in a proactive, holistic and risk-based manner while diligently analyzing and accounting for risks and mitigating them. Read about some unique cybersecurity strategies for protecting oil and gas infrastructure.

Overview The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) represented by a high level of IoT infusion into manufacturing also brings with it a challenge that needs to be addressed. Security is a key concern for all IIoT projects as a variety of factors contribute to the manufacturing sector facing many threats especially in areas where there is a convergence of IoT, OT and IT.

Overview MEC brings forth its own challenges. The idea of moving infrastructure and resource management to the local node could bring trust issues on the network. Among the known threats, the risk of a man-in-the-middle and polymorphic DDoS attacks are higher with MEC. When devices get cloud access at the node level, sometimes without adequate identification, the chance of a misuse or even pilferage of data is higher.

IoT Aware Converged Security This Point of View helps you to understand how Subex’s IoT Security solution- Subex secure uses a three tier detection strategy to identify threats as they occur on the network. The tiers are signature based detection, heuristics and anomaly based detection.
