The Internet of Things is reshaping everyday life and industry alike, but its security posture remains uneven and, in many cases, absent. To protect the rapidly expanding IoT ecosystem, we need a unified set of security standards. Identity‑based public‑key cryptography offers a sector‑agnostic bas

Dr Kevin Curran, a Senior IEEE Member and leader of the Ambient Intelligence Research Group, argues that in an era of digital immersion, the conventional act of manually driving becomes increasingly obsolete. However, realizing the full potential of autonomous vehicles hinges on robust infrastructu

Anthony Sayers, Internet of Things evangelist at Software AG, reminds us that implementing IoT is a marathon, not a sprint. Success requires careful preparation, proven processes, and a long‑term vision.“Attempting to connect everything at once guarantees failure,” warns Sayers. Cisco research show

Over the past decade, offices have evolved into open, light‑filled environments that encourage relaxation and enhance productivity.Today, the vision for the office of tomorrow is being reshaped by rapid advancements in automation, the Internet of Things (IoT), and voice‑activated technology.

In 2018, the world had become more connected than ever, and with the growing reliance on mobile devices, cyber risks surged, notes Moshe Elias, director of product marketing at Allot. Whether you’re checking a bank balance, sending a work email, or sharing photos, everyday mobile activities create

Security remains the top priority in the development and deployment of the Internet of Things. Gartner reports that, by 2020, IoT security will account for 20% of all security budgets. Nick Sacke, head of Product and IoT at Comms365, warns that analysts, vendors and stakeholders are increasingly co

Swann Security’s app has proven vulnerable to hacking.On Thursday, security researchers uncovered flaws in the firmware of Samsung’s SmartThings Hub. Cisco Talos released a detailed blog outlining multiple critical vulnerabilities. According to Jeremy Cowan, this is part of a broader trend of IoT se

By 2018, the Internet of Things (IoT) transitioned from theory to reality, connecting almost 11 billion non‑computer devices worldwide. Stephen Dunkley, Product Manager at Kollective Technology, notes that the network will expand further. Gartner forecasts over 20 billion IoT devices globally by 20

In the evolving landscape of the Internet of Things (IoT), the concept of digital twins has surged to the forefront of manufacturing innovation. According to Sukamal Banerjee, Corporate Vice President – ERS Sales (Hi Tech & Comm) and Head of IoTWoRKS at HCL Technologies, the industry is finally ove

In the first installment of this two‑part series, we introduced the digital twin concept and its role in visualizing manufacturing assets. In this second part, Sukamal Banerjee, Corporate Vice President – ERS Sales (Hi Tech & Comm) and Head of IoT WoRKS at HCL Technologies, examines the next major

Arm has acquired enterprise data‑management provider Treasure Data, marking a decisive step toward an integrated device‑to‑data IoT platform. By merging Treasure Data’s analytics engine, the recently acquired Stream connectivity suite, and Arm’s Mbed Cloud, Arm is creating what it calls the industr

Wearable technology has long lingered in a developmental limbo. According to Rufus Grig, CTO of Maintel, early devices such as Google Glass and the Apple Watch were praised for their sleek design but fell short of delivering transformative functionality. Despite significant marketing spend, the App

Projected counts of IoT devices point to robust expansion, yet the figures vary widely and the “experts” use different horizons. For instance, estimates range from 18 billion by 2022, 26 billion by 2020, 75 billion by 2025, to 125 billion by 2030. Historically, Ericsson and Cisco had projected 50 

While IoT adoption accelerates and fresh use cases surface daily, the industry risks stagnation if companies lose focus on digitisation’s core promise: enhancing everyday customer experiences. Efficiency is a key benefit of IoT, yet gains must translate into tangible customer‑centric outcomes—produc

In 2017, IoT botnet infections surged by 140% compared to 2016, and the trend shows no sign of slowing. Yossi Atias, GM IoT Security at BullGuard, emphasizes that cybersecurity deserves the same seriousness as physical safety for anyone who relies on connected services. While families worldwide inv

Over the past decade, virtualisation has been touted as the key to reducing capital spend, simplifying network management, and delivering the high‑quality experience (QoE) that 4G‑connected users demand. Yet, many operators still struggle to realise these benefits in practice. Alistair Grant, Busin

The Internet‑of‑Things (IoT) can transform a wide array of tasks—from predictive maintenance of household appliances to intelligent traffic signals that ease congestion. According to Pinakin Patel, MapR’s Solutions Engineering lead, most IoT scenarios begin with sensor data flowing from edge device

Today’s work environment is rapidly evolving, driven by breakthroughs in automation, robotics, virtual reality and cloud computing. Among these, augmented reality (AR) stands out as the technology set to reshape how we learn, collaborate and operate. Hannah Jeacock, research director at MHR, argues

Exclusive Interview: Bill Ruh, CEO of GE Digital, shares how autonomous systems powered by AI and digital twins are transforming industry.
