IoT & Automation

Industrial IoT implementation is here to stay and help businesses grow further with time. In fact, we believe that involving such an innovative technology will definitely become a driving force in the industrial revolution for the coming years. The complexity involved in adopting IIoT often scares businesses. But, the right mobile app development company can help you streamline this complexity and move beyond the above-mentioned challenges to make it work. Avoiding the change for too long, on the other hand, can dissuade your business from moving forward.

The advent of smart homes is primed to change how we perform various functions in our daily life and has energy efficiency at the backbone of it. In addition to that, the safety features provided by smart homes is expected to drive the adoption and thereby augmenting the demand in the global smart home machine

There are numerous issues hindering the effective implementation of IoT affecting the role of a chief information officer (CIO). There are many networks infrastructures that are underutilized and the industry needs to realize the potential of converging and powering multiple low-voltage devices and systems on a single unified structured cabling system that supports common communication protocols and enables sharing information from one system to another. CIOs can think differently. Only those that embrace data-driven reasoning and response across a range of machines, applications and systems are truly prepared for a successful digital and business transformation.

Concerns about IoT security risks remain at an all-time high—and well they should. Your organization’s move to the IoT needs to happen in step with fundamental changes to how you handle risk management, security training, endpoint security, and nearly every security and operations task in between to ensure your enterprise security in the IoT age. It’s time we ask if our connected devices are out of control. The proliferation of these devices presents growing risk management issues for consumers and enterprises alike. Here are some common ways to manage IoT risk.

With the increasing use of this technology healthcare industry is set to transform within the next decade as it has a great potential application via remote monitoring to medical device integration. The Healthcare Internet of things is an economic market with a lot of potential in it. Besides technology developments, there are other factors increasing the growth of the healthcare internet of things. One of the factors is constant economic development and the increase in the interest of the government in using digital healthcare & fitness solutions to improve the accessibility of healthcare and decrease the cost.

The IOT has taken on a greater level of importance in a wide range of industries. Those who have been monitoring these effects have been paying close attention to the world of healthcare. The risks that are associated with providing care are reduced and so are the costs. The IOT into the medical sector has been a boon for all parties involved. App development companies and businesses have already been making major strides in this regard. Elderly patients and those who require around the clock supervision are benefiting immensely.

The Internet of Things involves the digitization of physical assets, and that includes pretty much every company. And just like other markets, some of the largest market participants will assume that they have plenty of time to respond, or that they are too big and too entrenched for the change to significantly impact their businesses. But they will be wrong. But how can you tell if you are going to be a digital winner? What are some of the signs that you are falling behind and possibly falling into the loser category?

Despite rigorous research and aggressive adoption, IoT infrastructure faces major security issues. Hence, several researchers and developers are exploring enhanced security protocols provided by blockchain. Blockchain has already introduced a secure platform for cryptocurrency transactions. Similarly, the utilization of blockchain in IoT will lead to the development of distributed ledger for interfacing multiple connected IoT devices. With such an approach, data storage and networking of IoT-powered devices will be drastically improved.

Many large organisations now assume that breaches are simply inevitable, due to the inherent complexity of their business models and the multiplication of attack surfaces and attack vectors which comes with it. This realisation changes fundamentally the dynamics around cyber security. Historically, cyber security has always been seen as an equation between risk appetite, compliance requirements and costs. Compliance and costs were always the harder factors. Risk (was always some form of adjustment variable.

Privacy and security considerations are the key ingredients of digital trust and must be at the heart of any industry’s digital transformation. The necessarily transversal nature of security and privacy matters needs to be woven into the fabric of an organisation for the digital transformation to succeed over the long-term. At this junction, the traditional role of the CISO – heavily influenced by a technical bias, tactically-oriented and project-driven in many firms – could become exposed.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is increasingly part of our everyday lives, with so-called “smart” devices. But for all their undoubted technical merits, they also represent a growing threat to privacy. There are several aspects to the problem. One is that devices may be monitoring what people say and do directly. Another is the leakage of sensitive information from the data streams of IoT devices. Finally, there is the problem summed up by what is called by some “Hyppönen’s law“: “Whenever an appliance is described as being ‘smart’, it’s vulnerable”.
