Introduction We are excited to announce a new AWS IoT Device Defender audit feature to identify potential misconfigurations when using wild cards in Internet of Things (IoT) policies. AWS IoT Device Defender is a fully managed IoT security service that enables you to audit and monitor your IoT device fleet and secure your IoT configurations […]

Introduction Dynamically verifiable device identity is a foundational component of a Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA). Ongoing dynamic evaluation of identity and trust requires complete and timely visibility into relevant components of that identity. Active device certificates issued by a revoked intermediate Certificate Authority (CA) can pose a security threat due to the intermediate CA being […]

Introduction Industrial digital transformation can increase competitiveness and optimize processes and profitability through the use of big data, IoT, machine-to-machine communication, and machine learning. Continuous digitalization and progressive interconnectivity of the production environment is important to capturing value from industrial IoT (IIoT) solutions. While this new and expanding “physical meets digital” connectivity enables great rewards, […]

Introduction The Internet of Things (IoT) is transforming business operations and customer experiences across a variety of industries. This unlimited opportunity enables business transformation, but if not implemented correctly, it also brings security, risk, and privacy concerns, compromising your data and brand. In industrial facilities, OT (Operational Technology) environments are leveraging more IT solutions to improve […]

Introduction IoT applications and devices can be diverse and are used across industries such as utilities, agriculture, manufacturing, mining, and consumer electronics. With the exponential growth of IoT devices and the increasing threat landscape, it also means that IoT security needs to be accounted for and designed into the solution from the ground up. AWS […]

Learn some of the best practices for keeping your IIoT infrastructure secure using AWS’s multilayered security approach and comprehensive security services and features.

Today, AWS announced the general availability of AWS IoT Device Defender Machine Learning Detect and Mitigation (ML Detect), a new feature that automatically detects IoT device-level operational and security anomalies based on learnings from past device data. Customers can already use AWS IoT Device Defender’s Rules Detect feature to manually set static alarms. ML Detect […]

Introduction IoT product development crosses several domains of expertise from embedded design to communication protocols and cloud computing. Because of this complexity “end-to-end” or “edge-to-cloud” IoT security is becoming a challenging concept in the industry. Edge in many cases refers to the device as a single element in the edge-to-cloud chain. But the device must […]

Introduction Solutions architects, developers, and system designers building IoT solutions need ways to properly secure data and functions that operate on data across the entire solution landscape. In this post, we describe a few design options for scaling authorization policies focused on multi-user and multi-device use cases with AWS IoT Core. We cover several scenarios, […]

Solution providers operating environments such as smart building, utilities, manufacturing systems, and connected products offer business-to-business services often based on IoT platforms deployed in multitenant deployments. Securely managing those resources by use case, types, locations and by tenants can sometime be hard. Creating hierarchical grouping of things is a common pattern, but it does not […]
