How to Secure IoT Devices: 5 Best Practices

Internet of Things (IoT) devices, computing devices that send and receive information via the Internet and that run very specific applications, can be anything from smart thermostats to smart TVs. The main advantage of IoT devices is their constant connectivity, which allows users to access information and control the devices remotely at any time.

Securing Firmware Updates With AES Encryption

Connected devices require a secure point-to-point channel to ensure that there is no possibility of exposing important data for the integrity of an embedded system. This is especially true when we talk about over-the-air (OTA) software updates, where the new firmware has a long way to go before reaching its destination and being installed by our bootloader. In this publication, we will explore a simple method to encrypt the firmware using the AES algorithm, using open-source libraries in Python.

Securing Company Data With Enterprise Access Control

Access control is a vital security measure that manages user interactions with systems, networks, or resources, safeguarding sensitive information and preventing unauthorized access. By granting or denying specific permissions based on user roles, organizations ensure that only authorized individuals have access to data, mitigating the risk of data breaches and cyberattacks.
