The IoT revenue promise that was never cashed in

Expectation and reality do not always match – and this is even more pronounced when it comes to projected revenue streams. For example, says Carsten Rhod GregersenCEO and founder of Nabto, industry insiders and investors were certain that making money in the connected space of the Internet of Things (IoT) was not limited to physical product sales. Rather, other revenue streams would become possible after the initial product sale, including value-added services, subscriptions, and apps. (more…)

How to Make Any IoT System Secure

Today, increasing numbers of home appliances are controlled remotely. Thanks to the speedy growth of the Internet of Things, we can manage our speakers, thermostats, ovens, and even cars, from anywhere in the world. But sometimes, such networks lack security.

VPNs are effective tools that will safeguard any IoT system. Learn about the best solutions on Cooltechzone, which offers useful tips and tricks for ultimate protection. Implementation of a virtual private network allows companies to create a secure environment for the transfer of data between their data centers and the numerous devices.

How It Works

The tech infrastructure supporting the system is interconnected with IoT devices, which form a unified private network. The latter makes all communication between the two primary system elements secure. Today, when hacking is rampant and data leaks are making headlines, IoT security is not an issue to overlook.

Data traffic is encrypted and tunneled over the Internet, eventually reaching a server within the private network. This secure tunnel essentially extends the private network over a public one via a special link. VPN is what enhances public networks with private network connectivity.

Taking advantage of a reliable VPN, you will make all communications with the linked devices secure. For this purpose, you are provided with a special Access Server, which forms the basis of your private IOT network, now impenetrable to external attacks. Any attempts at eavesdropping on the transmitted data are successfully averted.

There’s More

And this is only one of the many benefits of VPN. These systems are indispensable for any company and individual today. Aside from IoT architecture providers, they protect their customers from data leaks and hacking. Shielding users from all kinds of malicious third-party interferences, VPNs make the world wide web a safe environment.
