When
manufacturers produce these devices, the important focus is on the
functionality. Complete security at various levels or horizontal
security is not in their plan. With IoT devices opening up several entry
points for hackers and unauthorized access to data, for example related
to people’s behavior, patterns, health, or industry specifics, it
becomes imperative that something different, something comprehensive
needs to be done to secure the IoT ecosystem. That’s what SmartAxiom
plans to achieve. SmartAxiom provides Security-as-a-Service for the
Internet of Things.
The
IoT security solution proposed by SmartAxiom not only protects
sensitive data but also maintains privacy and security in IoT networks,
as well as offers some form of validation and consensus for transactions
to prevent spoofing and theft. The solution is decentralized, unlike
traditional client-server kind of security model. It’s based on
Blockchain technology, thereby eliminating single points of failure, and
creating a more resilient ecosystem for devices to run on. To learn
more about SmartAxiom’s horizontal and decentralized IoT security
solution, that will provide scalability, privacy, and reliability to the
Internet of Things, contact our team today.
