San Francisco - 22 December 2021 - Internet of Everything Corp is bringing to the market an IoT Cloud Alternative that provides a solution to the security challenges that centralized solutions haven’t been able to tackle. We have worked to identify the passive and active risks to IoT, risks beyond common cybersecurity.
Passive Risks
Passive risks come down to size and speed. In large deployments of anything, there will always be some parts that don’t perform as expected. With IoE deployments, erroneous data or slow data are big risks. Sensors and devices that deliver erroneous data to an AI can create enormous disruptions in the real world. City traffic routing, logistics planning, telemedicine, the list goes on and on with new fantastic services that will enhance our lives and help create a sustainable future.
These services need to rely on the data delivered. The data and information in the infrastructure used by the services need to be verified immutably. So that we can trust autonomous services to do their job, as monitoring millions and millions of devices in real-time would be insane to think we can do it using IT departments.
The key to many services and solutions is speed. Real-time or close to real-time is critical, because first responder services, healthcare, physical infrastructure all need guaranteed data delivery. Moving data to a cloud server center to move it back to where it is to be used is, in most cases, not a valid solution. Data needs to become informed as we generate it. There should be no middle steps. In conclusion, deployments using current infrastructure solutions as cloud technology are catastrophes waiting to happen.
Active Risks
Active risks are because, Cyber-criminals and Cyber-terrorists are looking at IoT devices and their installations as an opportunity to steal information, extort money and attack a nation's critical infrastructure. One of the most simple but efficient attacks is the Denial of Service attack, which is a simple way to take out and extort cloud-based services.
There is also target ransomware, common malware, DNS hijacking, and other tools these criminals and terrorists use. There is one common trait between these attacks, and that is that they exploit centralized infrastructure solutions, be it at index, data, service, or user level. Some lone “hacker” does not do these active risks in a basement. We are talking about sophisticated and well-funded organizations with highly educated staff.
To believe that cyber-security in its current form of attacker/defender is going to work. When any takeout of data flow or service will be directly and immensely disruptive to our economy, security and lives is to not take these risks seriously.
We believe IoT services need to be designed around security, cost, and sustainable thinking as they are 24/7 autonomous always-on services.
