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.

Today, Mocana announced that we've integrated our IoT Security Platform with the IoT cloud platforms of Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure IoT, and VMware to make it easier for developers to use Mocana's strong, embedded security on devices they want to connect to the cloud.

According to IDC, the global revenue opportunity for the Internet of Things (IoT) in manufacturing is expected to grow to $913 billion by 2018. More and more manufacturers are looking to realize the benefits of utilizing IoT for manufacturing including reducing the cost of field operations, maintenance, and repairs; extending the life of assets; driving efficiency; and creating new revenue sources.
