Internet of Things (IoT) is a promising technology with potential to change the way life as we know it. It is already influencing industries like healthcare, retail, agriculture, automobiles and insurance. But it comes with one huge challenge in the form of security.
The IoT data utilized in an IoT use case needs to be encrypted with robust measures, in order to prevent unauthorized hacker access.Security
of Transmission and Devices by Following the Best Practices
The
onus of protecting the IoT sensors devices
lies on the shoulders of the IoT connectivity provider. It needs to follow the
best practices to stop devious people from exploiting the loopholes and steal valuable
customer data:
Strong
security of devices and transmission
Both
the stationary IoT devices and the transmitted signal need to be protected with
strong security measures. Strong encryption standards like WPA2 and AES need to
be used for stopping hackers from breaking into a transmission.
Constant
upgrade of IoT devices
The
IoT devices commissioned in a network can be hard to upgrade manually as there
are too many of them spread around at different places. So, it is needed that
IoT sensors devices come with OTA (Over the Air) firmware upgrade option.
This is an essential requirement to keep the devices upgraded to meet emerging
security threats.
Complete
reporting of transactions and analytics
In
order to observe what is going on in the network, the telecom operator should
get complete reporting of every transaction. Such reporting can alert him to
any security loopholes and vulnerabilities in the system. In the same way,
analytics need to be used to gather insights about network condition. Automated
diagnostics also provide a unique and effective way to seek out the problem.
IoT
Development with security in mind
The
IoT
development needs to be done with security in mind. If the IoT
sensors and devices are coded from the ground up with strong security, the
results are much better.
Unique
public IP address
Every
connection should get a unique public IP address in order to bolster security.
At Secure IoT Services, we implement the strongest of security measures and
ensure robust protection of every IoT sensor and device.
Secure
IoT Services also provides top-notch IoT Billing solutions
and has the capacity to track millions and millions of IoT transaction. We
harness the power of analytics to provide better business insights to our
partnering MNOs, MVNOs and MVNEs.
