Sensify Security, a company that delivers decentralized information security services for commercial and Industrial IoT (IIoT) operations with centralized control, policy management & compliance, has joined the Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC), the global, member-supported organization that promotes the accelerated growth of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), according to a recent announcement.
“Securing IoT devices is top of mind for most enterprises, especially given the recent uptick in security breaches, for example the recent DDoS attacks,” said Richard Soley, Executive Director, Industrial Internet Consortium. “We look forward to the expertise of Sensify Security as we define ways to help enterprises defend themselves against viscous attacks that can cost them billions.”
Sensify Security stays in the forefront of IoT security by enabling operators to control access between users, applications, control systems and sensor devices by hosting information security services within its operating environments. Sensify’s blockchain-based consensus protocol is designed to build high levels of tamper-resistance into these services in conjunction with industrial-scale control of policies and compliance.
Sensify has partnered with industrial vendors and operators across verticals like energy distribution (smart-grids), aviation, building management & transportation. The IIC membership creates a platform for Sensify to collaborate and create industry standard security solutions.
Sensify defends heterogeneous IoT devices & applications against cyberattacks by delivering decentralized information security services that are integrated with enterprise security. It provides a consistent security service delivery that spans users, applications & control systems. It is deployed as a security gateway within operating environments and integrates with both TCP/IP & industrial networks. This results in centralized control, policy management and compliance by closely integrating with the operator's existing enterprise security systems like Active Directory, LDAP & OAuth.
“With our abilities of building ground-up cyber-defense capabilities in IoT operations, Sensify is committed to contributing – along with other IIC members – towards creating reference architectures & best practices for IoT security to empower operators across industry verticals to rise up to today's challenges of cyber-security,” said Susanto Irwan, co-founder, Sensify Security.
