As manufacturing companies continue to adopt Industry 4.0, many environments could still be falling short on security with outdated systems, unpatched vulnerabilities, and unsecure files that leave them vulnerable to attacks.

As the field of telecommunication continues to evolve, so should its security. Understanding its current threat landscape can help reduce the impact of crimes like telecom fraud and prepare us for future threats in the age of the IoT.

We examine the nature of internet routing and see how it may be in conflict with border-specific regulations.

The evolution of smart homes and smart buildings into complex IoT environments reflects the continuing developments in home and industrial automation. Security should not be left behind as increased complexity also means new threats and risks.

Catching malware outbreaks early keeps users, communities, enterprises, and governments safe. But if malware samples are scarce, can machine learning help analyze, detect, and end an outbreak?

Radio frequency (RF) technology is being used in operations to control various industrial machines. However, the lack of implemented security in RF communication protocols could lead to production sabotage, system control, and unauthorized access.

We looked into MQTT brokers and CoAP servers around the world to assess IoT protocol security. Learn how to prevent risks and secure machine-to-machine (M2M) communications over MQTT and CoAP in our research.

This research looks at the kinds of IoT projects being driven by global organizations, their key challenges and perceived threats, along with hard data outlining the frequency and type of attacks they’ve already experienced.

Securing energy and water should remain top priority in the continuing integration of the industrial internet of things in these critical sectors.
