The Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of physical objects — devices, vehicles, buildings and other items embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and network connectivity — that enables these objects to collect and exchange data.
With IoT devices and sensors finding their way into every industry and aspect of our lives, security needs to become a higher priority.
| Key Problems and Challenges in Securing IoT | TrustPoint Innovation Solutions |
|---|---|
| Usually not built with security in mind upfront | Design In Trust leveraging TrustPoint Innovation engineers’ security expertise during the design phase. Product already designed or deployed? Let TrustPoint Innovation do a Security Assessment using our Threat Model Framework to identify security vulnerabilities and propose solutions |
| Their ability to act as back doors to critical systems | Enable Trust via TrustPoint Innovation’s security and cryptographic software toolkits to ensure end-to-end trust points are established and maintained |
| Low cost devices that are resource constrained (ie. low processing power, minimal memory and bandwidth, etc.) | TrustPoint Innovation’s security and cryptographic software toolkits utilizes strong and efficient ECC that is optimized for the smallest of embedded devices |
| Large number of IoT devices with longer service life makes managing and maintaining security difficult | Manage Trust using TrustPoint Innovation’s Certificate Authority, an IoT specific PKI solution that ensures end-to-end trust points are maintained throughout the product life cycle. Our solutions also solve the key management issue and initial provisioning of security in devices |
