What is IoT Security?

Posted on by admin

The entire world has stepped into the digital bubble. Cell phones are popular, tablets have substituted spiral notebooks in classrooms, and industries have created cutting-edge technology such as self-driving cars.

Everything appears to be interconnected, especially in the corporate world. Because of the compact design, low profile, and capabilities, the IoT devices dominate the corporate environment and are being used by an insider, making them a formidable tool to avoid traditional security defenses focused on external and recognized threats. 

Infosecurity Outlook experts stated that the term IoT is increasingly making its way into everyday use. However, the internet of things (IoT) has become so large that security development has had to keep up.

IoT security is a technology that helps secure IoT-connected devices and networks. It is the practice of keeping IoT systems safe. IoT security tools help protect IoT devices against threats, identify, and monitor vulnerabilities, also assist in the remediation of flaws. The IoT solution’s availability, integrity, and confidentiality are all ensured by IoT security. If devices are not well secured, allowing them to connect to the internet exposes them to a range of dangers.

The advantages of IoT are evident, but high-profile cyberattacks, combined with uncertainties about security best practices and their related costs, prevent many organizations from utilizing it. Similarly, end-users are concerned about the repercussions of IoT security vulnerabilities.

Although cybercriminals can misuse information at various locations within an IoT platform, from corporate servers to cloud storage, it means you shouldn’t abandon your work tablet in favour of a pen and paper, but simply that you must prioritize IoT security. 

Nevertheless, users can apply a few best methods to prevent threats:

  • Keep track of mobile devices update your antivirus software automatically.
  • Strong login credentials should be mandatory.
  • Install end-to-end encryption.
  • Set up device and software updates regularly. 
  • Choose an expert cybersecurity provider
  • Set up a strict access control policy for APIs.

Conclusion

In addition to security protocols, users should be aware of emerging technology advancements. Recently, IoT security is considered on a priority basis. Research into how to secure specific businesses, monitor IoT-related dangers, and prepare for future game-changers like 5G is ongoing. Users must understand that because the Internet of Things is a dynamic and evolving industry, its security will need to evolve and adapt over time. It also makes sure that the company’s, data, and processes are safe as you develop your IoT network.

Codenotary Cloud Detects Vulnerabilities In The System Development

Posted on by admin

Codenotary has released Codenotary Cloud, a low-cost way to identify where a vulnerability like Log4j resides.

Codenotary Cloud lowers the cost of detecting and analyzing unnecessary artifacts by up to 80%, ensuring compliance with the United States’ Executive Order on Improving National Cybersecurity.

Codenotary Cloud offers an end-to-end trusted software supply chain that is both authentic and trustworthy. It can scale to millions of integrity verifications per second and provides a way for developers to attach a tamper-proof SBOM for development artifacts such as source code, builds, repositories, and more, as well as Docker container images for their software and Kubernetes deployments. Customers, auditors, and compliance professionals can all see them right away through the SBOM.

The Co-founder and CEO, Codenotary, Moshe Bar said, “A vulnerability scan tells you a malware is present, but then the problem is you need to find all the places it exists and that can often take weeks or months. With Codenotary Cloud, it’s possible to do that in seconds – with the ability to create, track, and query your software including the Software Bill of Materials (SBOM).”

Most vulnerability scanners and major cloud-native continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) solutions can be fully integrated with Codenotary Cloud. The DevOps attestation service is available as a managed service on any cloud or host, or customers can host it themselves.

Fugue and CWS Team Up to Solve Enterprise Cloud Security Gaps with End-to-End Policy as Code Enforcement

Posted on by admin

CWS, an IT services firm that helps large, highly regulated companies migrate to the cloud, has teamed up with Fugue, a cloud security SaaS company, to provide developer-first cloud security for mission-critical and time-sensitive cloud deployments. Fugue’s SaaS platform secures cloud infrastructure throughout all stages of the software development life cycle by employing the same infrastructure controls as code checks and the cloud runtime environment. CWS and Fugue have teamed together to focus on delivering safe cloud infrastructure quickly, starting with a large telecoms firm and resulting in a 90 percent faster deployment with half the engineering staff.

“Time and again we see critical cloud initiatives get bogged down in time-consuming enterprise security processes that kill development velocity. After evaluating a number of tools, Fugue was the only one that addressed cloud security end-to-end using the same set of policies, reducing delivery times for security-critical cloud infrastructure from months to days and requiring only a fraction of the engineering investment previously needed,” said Rajat Sharma, founder of CWS.

“Security is the rate-limiting factor for how fast enterprises can go in the cloud, and key to changing this is developer-centric security based on policy as code and automated enforcement.  CWS has a track record of helping engineering teams innovate fast in challenging regulatory environments, and we’re thrilled they’ve chosen Fugue as their platform for operationalizing cloud security across the software development life cycle,” said Josh Stella, co-founder and CEO of Fugue.
