LTE-M vs NB-IoT: 5 Considerations for Your IoT Solutions

31.03.2021 With 2G- and 3G phaseout accelerating globally, LTE-M and NB-IoT are positioned as future-proof alternatives for cellular IoT. Both technologies fall into Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) category, bringing enhanced coverage, longer battery life, and reduced costs compared to previous cellular generations.

Why Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) Is the Future of IoT Security

17.02.2021 – Knowledge Hub

Coined by Gartner in the 2019 Networking Hype Cycle and Market Trends report, Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) introduces a new architecture where networking and security functions are bundled in a cloud-delivered service. As IoT and internet-based traffic continues to soar, SASE allows enterprises to streamline network integration, security, and policy management of distributed devices with a centrally managed platform.

What is the IoT Cybersecurity Improvement Act?

20.01.2021 – Knowledge Hub

In December 2020, the IoT Cybersecurity Improvement Act was officially signed into law in the US. According to this new legislation, any IoT device purchased with government money must meet minimum security standards. While the law currently applies only to federal government agencies, down the line it is expected to affect devices procured by state and local authorities and, eventually, by the private sector.

IoT attacks, hacker motivations and recommended countermeasures

11.12.2020 – Knowledge Hub

Businesses worldwide spent $1.5 billion on IoT security in 2019. An incredible number, especially given we are just beginning the IoT journey. When it comes to connecting devices via cellular IoT, the selling-point is typically the data and derived insights – this is where the customer sees real value, more so than in any security benefits. That said, IoT solution providers not taking security measures into consideration are risking significant revenue and reputation loss in the event of a security breach – both for their own business as well as their customer’s business. In the worst cases, the harm done from one security breach will far outweigh any previously created customer value. Businesses that can explain and demonstrate their security concepts will gain a competitive advantage.

Narrowband: 7 things IoT manufacturers should consider

10.12.2020 – Knowledge Hub

Many IoT device manufacturers are currently looking closely at Cellular Narrowband technologies such as NB-IoT and Cat M1 which promise significantly lower energy consumption. With the substantial increase of battery life to more than 10 years, many no-touch IoT applications become viable at an affordable cost. Although Cellular Narrowband has been heavily promoted during the last years by many operators, we have yet to see widespread adoption. In this article, we outline 7 reasons why device manufacturers are still not taking advantage of NB-IoT.

What Is SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) And Its Benefits For Enterprises

10.12.2020 – Knowledge Hub

SaaS is a service model in which a provider hosts the application and makes it available to customers over the Internet. This is a significant departure from the on-premises software delivery model allowing organizations to outsource most of the IT responsibilities. With its immediate availability and a cost-effectiveness (pay-as-you-go model), SaaS enables enterprises to scale the infrastructure up and down, depending on their needs, without setting up additional hardware and infrastructure, resulting in more flexible and scalable operations with dramatically reduced deployment times. Enterprises also have the ability to integrate most of SaaS applications with other software using application programming interfaces (APIs).
