Building an in-house IoT network is a long and difficult process which can endanger the company if not done right.

Internet of Things: 5 Big Predictions for 2019

We live in an exciting new world, don’t you think? Relying on tech more and more, we are able to get places faster, be in contact with people far away, work from home (or the beach, if you are feeling adventurous) and have all the information as soon as we want it.

In that sense, let’s see the 4 times it did just that in 2018.

Secure IoT Network in 6 Easy Steps (Infographic)

When it comes to Industrial Control Systems operating within a customized network, one thing should be glaringly obvious – they are extremely difficult to secure. Their computing capabilities are just about enough for running their primary operating functions, but they cannot authenticate incoming messages, authorize users, log network traffic, support online updates, or use the OSI protocol stack. What is more, many use entirely proprietary, vendor-specific protocols.
