The Role of Physical Security in IoT

March 14, 2019 | 118 views

Securing the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to become more important as the value of assets, and number of connected devices, continues to increase. The distributed and fragmented nature of IoT means a larger attack surface and physical access (proximity) to the devices. The combination of these two factors make physical security a viable and potent threat. There are many examples of how a lack of sufficient physical security can pose a severe security risk to the IoT ecosystem and the effects of a security breach can quickly snowball.

How Artificial Intelligence Is Transforming Businesses

Article | July 20, 2022

Whilst there are many people that associate AI with sci-fi novels and films, its reputation as an antagonist to fictional dystopic worlds is now becoming a thing of the past, as the technology becomes more and more integrated into our everyday lives. AI technologies have become increasingly more present in our daily lives, not just with Alexa’s in the home, but also throughout businesses everywhere, disrupting a variety of different industries with often tremendous results. The technology has helped to streamline even the most mundane of tasks whilst having a breath-taking impact on a company’s efficiency and productivity

The advances of AI in healthcare

Article | July 13, 2022

With the Government investing £250 million into the project, the Lab will consider how to use AI for the benefit of patients – whether this be the deployment of existing AI methods, the development of new technologies or the testing of their safety. Amongst other things, the initiative will aim to deliver earlier diagnoses of cancer. It is estimated that in excess of 50,000 extra patients could see their cancer being detected at an early stage, thus boosting survival rates. More specifically, a study has shown that AI is quicker in identifying brain tumour tissue than a pathologist.This would have a positive knock-on effect in other areas, such as enabling money to be saved (that otherwise would have been spent on further treatment) and reducing the workload of staff (at a time when there is a crisis in NHS workforce numbers).

Pod Group Provides Secure Connectivity for Klevio’s Smart Door Entry Application

IoT Business News | April 24, 2019

Pod Group, a provider of platforms, software and connectivity services for the Internet of Things (IoT) and connected enterprises has announced today that it has signed an agreement to provide an IoT connectivity solution to Klevio, a provider of remote keyless access applications. The Klevio One device is a Wi-Fi / 4G enabled smart intercom and smartphone app that enables both consumers and businesses to remotely open doors to their properties from anywhere in the world. The Klevio One device operates like an ordinary intercom with a doorbell function, the ability to speak to visitors and open both private and communal doors. However, unlike an ordinary intercom, it also allows property owners to perform these functions remotely, via an app on their smartphone. It is also possible to create digital time-limited keys, perfect for short term lets or property management. The device can be easily installed on an existing door lock to make it “smart” by fitting an electric strike to the doorframe. For Klevio, the reliability and security of the connectivity is key. Since Wi-Fi cannot always be guaranteed, it is essential to have a resilient 4G connection with consistent coverage even in remote areas. Klevio has chosen to connect its smart door entry application using Pod Group’s secure, multi-network connectivity based on “Best Signal” technology. The solution includes multi-network SIM cards offering connectivity on over 600 networks in 185+ countries. The SIM automatically swaps network if the device loses signal, ensuring seamless connectivity. Pod’s connectivity management platform F2M allows customers such as Klevio to manage their SIM base globally from one centralized interface. The platform provides in-depth analysis of the connectivity of each device, as well as end-to-end network security monitoring and threat detection.
