IoT security – Secure your corporate network.

The number of cyberattacks is on the rise around the world—at large enterprises, SMEs and end users. At the same time, the impact of security incidents is also becoming greater making it more important for companies and organisations to protect their network and confidential data. The Internet of Things is another potential gateway for cyberattacks as the devices are connected to the internet and are on the corporate network. IoT is a technology that is still finding its feet, which means security mechanisms are not at the same level as in IT. Unfortunately, that makes IoT devices a popular target for attackers attempting to gain access to your network, which is why security needs to be top of the agenda. Our security experts have a holistic overview of cybersecurity and the right technologies. We consider all internet, cloud, edge and OT security aspects from day one to make your IoT project perfectly secure and scalable.

What is IoT security?

IoT cybersecurity is all about security mechanisms to protect software and devices that are connected to each other and the cloud, plus cloud security. When it comes to smart cities, smart factories, Industry 4.0 and the smart home, both software and devices such as sensors, cameras and gateways need to be protected. Modern technologies based, for example, on artificial intelligence support IoT cybersecurity. Within the context of IoT cybersecurity, devices such as edge gateways are of particular importance as unwanted access must be prevented both in terms of the cloud and in terms of physical access. IoT security solutions are therefore essential aspects of IoT applications in businesses and organisations.

Cloud security as a basis for secure IoT solutions.

Companies and organisations need to consider IoT cloud security from day one, no matter if they are large enterprises or SMEs. Most customers with business models based on digital concepts require comprehensive protection against cyberattacks. which has to take into consideration functional requirements, long-term strategic benefits and the necessary security and integrity of the cloud infrastructures and applications. Our Bechtle experts will develop a holistic security solution that covers all aspects of cloud security.

Secure edge gateways for comprehensive IoT security.

Sensor data are usually transmitted via edge gateways that ready them before forwarding them to the cloud. Sadly, most edge gateways come with significant vulnerabilities as they tend to be accessible to several people and application updates have to be installed from a USB stick. This makes it easy for unauthorised parties to gain find a way in especially when appropriate security measures aren't in place.

Our secure update solution – The Bechtle secure edge gateway.

We know that an edge gateway is a weak link in the IoT chain, which is why we’ve collaborated with a defence and banking expert to develop the Bechtle secure edge gateway. By taking a completely new approach, we were able to to make the edge components considerably more secure to prevent attacks on the operating system. Bechtle’s secure edge gateway also fulfils extremely high security standards making unauthorised access impossible. The gateway also allows each every physical component to be tracked proving an extra layer of security. In the event of a security breach, users are alerted immediately.

This standardised and industry-suited hardware fits seamlessly into all common environments and the OS is securely updated, significantly reducing the attack surface and considerably boosting IoT security.

Internet of Things – Internet-based cyberattacks?

IT departments are facing an ever-increasing number of cyberattacks, particularly in the face of Industry 4.0. Hackers exploit security vulnerabilities in IoT apps and networks to carry out targeted attacks, and so the more devices are connected with each other, the more opportunities cyber criminals have to capitalise on weak points. Against this backdrop, IoT security has to be top of the agenda as it’s not only the internet that can be the source of attacks—Bluetooth devices can also present a way in. Whatever the project, cybersecurity needs to be considered from day one.
