IoT devices make life and business smarter, but they also introduce security risks if not properly protected. Here’s how you can keep your connected devices safe.

  • Use Strong Passwords & Authentication:Avoid default credentials and enable multi-factor authentication where possible.
  • Encrypt Data:Ensure all data transmitted between devices and servers is encrypted.
  • Network Segmentation:Keep IoT devices on a separate network from critical business systems.
  • Regular Updates:Apply firmware and software updates promptly to patch vulnerabilities.
  • Private APNs & IMEI Locking:For cellular IoT, use private APNs and lock devices to specific SIMs for added security.
  • Monitor & Alert:Use centralised platforms to track device behaviour and set alerts for unusual activity.

  • Proactive monitoring through managed portals.
