IOT

More IoT devices, more need for tighter security.

The way people and organisations work is increasingly mobile. In recent years, Internet of Things (IoT) devices have become more commonplace. Today, more than ever, businesses are relying on remote and mobile work for their employees, and they’re using more smart devices, tools and kits connected to their networks to perform their everyday tasks.

With IoT devices becoming increasingly common across all industries, and with the implementation of 5G networks, the use of IoT devices will only continue to grow. But with this sudden increase and reliance on IoT devices, many organisations overlook their expanding security infrastructure and how these devices mean they need to bolster their defences. The fact is, each new IoT device you use that’s not properly secured is another open door into your network for malicious attackers who want to compromise your security.

Elevating your security posture, one device at a time.

Your organisation needs a multifaceted approach to harden your broadening device security. And that’s where we come in.

Our team’s breadth of experience combined with our connections to leaders in the cybersecurity industry means that we can look at every angle of your IoT device security and bolster overall security. We approach your current security and identify issues from all angles, which includes securing vulnerabilities, such as transmission protocol (TCP), user datagram protocol (UDP) ports, open password prompts and more. This way, we enhance your overall device security posture.

We’ll also ensure the latest updates and security patches are installed and create a regular schedule so your devices are always up-to-date with the latest security-enhancing firmware.

Encrypting your devices is another important step. IoT devices often transmit private and personal data. Our experts take your personal data seriously. We’ll encrypt your devices and protect your data from malicious actors looking to steal it. Not only does encrypting your IoT devices protect against data breaches, but it keeps your organisation aligned with data protection regulations, helping you to avoid penalties and reputational damage.

And to further enhance your overall security posture, we can also set up your IoT devices so that only authorised users have access to your networks. This extra security layer decreases the risk of unauthorised access by a big margin. And we can install context-aware authentication to lessen user interference with everyday tasks so your organisation continues to work at its regular pace.
