The ability to hot‑swap storage media is a standard expectation in servers and consumer electronics. Yet flash memory is often soldered into devices, making upgrades cumbersome. A new JEDEC standard promises to change that.JEDEC’s Solid State Technology Association has released the first version of

Why Blockchain Matters for IoT In the era of smart homes, smart cities, and industrial automation, the Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 45.1% to reach $2.4 billion by 2026. Yet the rapid expansion is hindered by the same cloud‑centric architecture that powers

Capturing data in the planet’s most isolated corners remains a formidable challenge for IoT operators. Yet the payoff—turning tiny, encrypted messages into actionable insights—is compelling enough to drive relentless innovation. IoT’s promise lies in its ability to turn raw data into knowledge that

The Linux Foundation’s Zephyr Open Source Project has become the cornerstone for countless IoT solutions. With a lightweight, scalable, real‑time operating system (RTOS) engineered for resource‑constrained devices, Zephyr supports a broad spectrum of architectures—ARC, Arm, Intel, Nios, RISC‑V, SPAR

Most product vulnerabilities today are found by independent researchers rather than the vendors themselves, creating a patchwork of exposure across the industry. Internet of Things (IoT) and Industrial Control System (ICS) devices are becoming a hotbed for high‑severity flaws. Claroty’s latest ICS R

Silicon Labs has introduced a suite of new tools and components that empower IoT manufacturers with unprecedented flexibility, robust security, and simplified cross‑protocol development. One of the most groundbreaking features is the ability to modify chip parameters—such as part number, security ke

The rapid expansion of IoT is already spotlighting the limitations of battery‑powered devices—both from a sustainability perspective and in terms of predictability and cost. By 2025, the combined consumer and industrial IoT market is projected to reach US$11.1 trillion, according to a 2020 Prudour r

A recent analysis highlighted the escalating threat of firmware‑based attacks on server platforms and detailed how providers like Cloudflare are countering these risks. The piece explained the adoption of a hardware root of trust for signing critical boot components, turning the hardware itself into

The expanding Internet of Things (IoT) landscape is bringing a surge of network security threats, pushing the market for IoT security services toward new heights by the mid‑2020s. ABI Research projects that by 2026 there will be over 3 billion IoT cellular connections—primarily on 4G and low‑power w

More and more energy‑harvesting startups are stepping in to supply power for the growing fleet of IoT sensors. These companies are building tiny power‑scavenging solutions that draw energy from ambient sources such as radio waves, Wi‑Fi, sunlight, heat gradients, and vibration. Their goal: replace t

The embedded SRAM IP from SureCore is engineered for system‑on‑chip (SoC) designs that power wearable and IoT devices, where every milliwatt counts. Headquartered in Sheffield, England, SureCore seeks senior memory‑design engineers with at least a decade of experience to advance its next‑generation

The Thingstream platform delivers reliable IoT connectivity, robust security, an enterprise‑grade MQTT broker, visual programming, and seamless enterprise integration—all designed to simplify IoT deployments at scale.

A new breed of IoT‑based wildfire early‑warning systems, offered by startups such as Dryad Networks, is emerging on the market. Will these technologies make a measurable difference in a world where wildfires are increasingly common? Flames flick on the horizon and spread uncontrollably into the vall

The Internet of Everything (IoE) is redefining connectivity by weaving together smart devices, people, processes, and data into a seamless, real‑time ecosystem. While the promise of hyperconnectivity unlocks unprecedented value, it also introduces complex challenges—security, privacy, scalability, a

The Colonial Pipeline ransomware incident demanded a $4.4 million ransom payment, but the real cost—lost revenue, brand erosion, and intensified regulatory oversight—ran into the tens of millions. Following that attack, federal agencies are accelerating sweeping cybersecurity reforms, yet many indus

Until recently, I had never encountered the term malvertising—malicious advertising—and even less about its ability to target smart home IoT devices. As someone who writes about IoT security, a report that an Eastern European criminal gang used malvertising to compromise home devices prompted me to

As the Internet of Things (IoT) increasingly relies on 5G infrastructure, the proliferation of poorly secured devices poses a growing threat to the integrity of 5G networks. With 13.8 billion active IoT connections already in place—and a projected 25 billion by 2025—network security is no longer opt

With cryptographic blocks built into modern microcontrollers, developers can now protect every communication channel, even legacy interfaces like UART that traditionally lack built‑in security. High‑profile data breaches in IoT systems have made it clear that offering a great product is no longer en

Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications routinely rely on an edge gateway to bridge Modbus peripherals and other devices. Building a custom gateway can be costly and time‑consuming. An open‑source edge computing framework dramatically simplifies deployment and reduces costs. IIoT connects
