Shield-IoT and
Datora
Telecom announced the
launch of a new IoT security service. The new SaaS service will enable Datora
and its enterprise customers to seamlessly monitor and secure any
cellular-connected device across any application at any scale.
With over 50 billion IoT and IIoT
devices expected to be connected by 2024, countless industries such as utilities,
smart grids, transportation, and various smart city applications rely on their
connected devices to support key services and fuel business growth. In Brazil,
79% of companies expect their IoT implementations to grow in size over the
coming 12 months. Of those, 44% have active plans to implement 5G for IoT
connectivity.
The increased adoption has led to
an escalating threat leveraging connected devices. In the first half of 2021,
there were 1.5 billion IoT global breaches, which security experts expect to
increase as more IoT devices are connected.
"Hackers can easily attack
vulnerable infrastructure and infiltrate into an organization's network via devices exposed in the field,
such as smart meters, EV charging stations, Point-of-Sales, and CCTV cameras.
Once inside, they are able to steal data, send false data, stage ransomware
attacks, manipulate device operations, and even take down critical
infrastructure," said Udi Solomon, CEO, and Co-Founder at Shield-IoT.
The new service analyzes device-to-cloud
communication statistics to accurately detect the first signs of unknown
cyber-attacks and operational events before any damage can take place.
Users get real-time unparalleled
visibility and can take preventive measures, leveraging the solution's
actionable alerts, including event type, severity, recommended action, and
more.
"Working with Shield-IoT enables Datora to protect our customers' IoT networks,
data, and critical services," said Tomas Fuchs, CEO of Datora. "The agent-less
SaaS solution requires no network changes or any installation on the device,
enabling our customers to quickly subscribe to the service with almost zero
effort and without impact on their existing operations."
"As IoT networks continue to grow massively and as new threats emerge,
customers require a solution that can easily adapt to meet these
challenges," added Solomon. "Our context-free AI solution is
‘future-proof' by design, built to protect both today and tomorrow's IoT
networks against current and future threats."
