As the pace of cyber attacks on Internet of Things (IoT) and industrial systems continues to rise, there is a critical need for stronger security on IoT and industrial devices. For the past 15 years, Trusted Platform Module (TPM) technology has been used broadly by major chip vendors such as Intel, AMD, Infineon and others to prove the identity of a computer or financial transaction device.

According to IDC, global public cloud spending is expected to exceed $203 billion by 2020. As enterprises make the transition to digital, they perceive the cloud as an enabler of modernization and provider of competitive advantages such as cost savings, scalability, and agility.

Today, Mocana ™ announced the launch of Mocana TrustCenter™, a new services platform that provides a system of cybersecurity to manage security across the lifecycle of IoT and industrial control devices. This is the first end-to-end platform for the management of cybersecurity across the IoT device security lifecycle for development, manufacturing, device onboarding, management and update. Mocana TrustCenter is a services platform that is hosted on a private cloud or public cloud IaaS. It includes an administrative dashboard, enrollment server and update server and interoperates with any hierarchical database.

Recently, the Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) released a white paper entitled, Endpoint Security Best Practices (ESBP). This concise document recommends best practices for endpoint security on industrial control system (ICS) devices such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs), sensors, drives and controllers. Here are the top five reasons you need to read the ESBP.

Modern cars are well on their way to revolutionizing the automotive industry. Intel’s 2017 whitepaper reports that “the newest cars on the road are equipped with active safety features that help protect drivers and passengers, heads-up displays that makes it easy to read instruments, and in-vehicle infotainment that makes the trip more enjoyable.” But with an IoT-enabled automobile comes greater security risks. And by 2020, analysts estimate that there will be more than 250 million connected cars on the roads.
