There are two basic elements to protecting access to the IoT: device-level hardening and network security. There are arguments to be made for the importance of each approach, but really both need to be locked down if the IoT is going to be protected from bad actors. 

Gemalto, a digital security vendor, has launched the Cinterion Secure Element, a tamper-resistant security component, designed to be embedded in industrial IoT solutions that are meant to enable advanced digital security and lifecycle management.

“The growing reliance on IoT solutions and high profile cyber-attacks are focusing industry minds on the necessity of security technology for continued growth,” said Robin Duke-Woolley, CEO, Beecham Research. Beecham is a technology analyst firm. 

Secure Element already is integrated into security architecture for some automakers. It meets the environmental and longevity requirements from the automotive industry. Data is stored safely, and access is granted only to authorized users. Security credentials can be updated over-the-air. 

Laetitia Jay, VP, M2M Solutions and Services, Gemalto, said, “Security and trust among all types of connected objects such as cars, traffic lights or intelligent road systems, will enable a whole realm of innovations in the IoT ecosystem.” 

The devices at the edge of the IoT are the front lines of the security fight in the industry. Hardening these devices with products similar to Gemalto’s could lead to a safer IoT. And not just for consumers, but for industrial companies looking for tighter controls on the mission-critical systems they want to tie into the IoT.
