Only 3% of the executives surveyed expressed that they were not challenged by the adoption of  new technologies inherent with the IoT.

The best integrity protection solutions are based on cryptography and the associated use of digital signatures and authentication.

Will this legislation remedy the market failure that has occurred and encourage device manufacturers to compete on the security of their IoT products?

Under the cloud of increasing cybersecurity threats, it is clear that a security by design approach is a necessity for any embedded system.

Much has been written lately about IIoT endpoints and their many potential security vulnerabilities.

The US FDA recently published new recommendations for both manufacturers and regulators to address medical device cybersecurity.

An attack to an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) system typically starts with an attack on one or more endpoints.

The vulnerability of Internet-enabled endpoints in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is a critical security concern.

There were some interesting findings released in a global study this past June conducted by Harbor Research (in conjunction with Progress Software) on the State of IoT: 2015 Global Developer Study.
