What should you pay attention to when purchasing an IoT portal? Usually, when doing research for the best IoT portal, you look for a combination of the best features. However, security should not be forgotten. You can have a great solution, but if it’s not secure enough and you fall victim to a cyber attack, you have nothing but misery....
It isn't self-evident that an IoT portal is secure. The IoT provider may promise that it's properly secured, but this does not mean that it is also arranged well at the back end. There are different methods and levels of security to continuously ensure that the portal is and remains secure. In this article, we describe the most important security...
A security vulnerability in Apache Log4j was announced on Github on December 9th with the highest severity score of 10.
