Building a 5G application with weak cybersecurity foundations is akin to building on sand. The rollout of 5G will require enterprises to overhaul cybersecurity approaches and practices. 1. Increase in access points Conventional 4G networks […]
Is Fog Computing the Answer to What is Preventing IoT from Becoming Mainstream
Conventional cloud centralises data processing to deliver efficiencies of scale. But today, everything, from shoes to specks and fridges to vehicles, has become Internet-enabled. The current internet and data centre infrastructure cannot cope. The huge number of devices, volume, and velocity of IoT data create challenges in storage, security, and network management. These challenges threaten […]
Five Tips to Address the Security Challenges of the IoT Dominated World
The Internet of Things (IoT) is fast becoming ubiquitous. IoT opens up a world of convenience and possibilities from smart office lighting systems to sensors embedded inside machinery. But IoT also changes the nature of the network and brings significant security risks. IoT expands the network and opens up a near-infinite number of endpoints. The […]
The Best IoT Security Tools
The Internet of Things (IoT) unlocks many possibilities but comes with huge security risks. IoT focused cyber-attacks have already become widespread. Attackers may gain entry to the network using a compromised device, or commandeer the device to do their bidding. The Dyn attack, where cybercriminals compromised cameras and other gadgets connected to the ISP’s network, […]
