In the ever-expanding world of the Internet of Things (IoT), where everyday devices are getting smarter and more connected, digital security has become more critical than ever. With billions of devices collecting and transmitting data, the potential for cyberattacks also rises dramatically.
Consider this: a 2023 report by Gartner predicts that over 25% of all cyberattacks against businesses will involve IoT devices. That's a significant portion of security threats targeting these interconnected systems.
The consequences of lax digital security in the IoT world can be far-reaching. Data breaches can expose personal information, while compromised devices can be used to launch attacks on wider networks. In critical infrastructure, like power grids or transportation systems, security vulnerabilities can have devastating real-world consequences.
That's where our experts come in
Our team of EMEA security experts work with companies of all sizes, on a variety of projects to ensure that security is never an afterthought. We start talking about security right at the architectural phase of a project.
In many cases, our security experience is used from the beginning of a project to engage into discussions about requirements and potential approaches, then moving from Security aspects to system-level design, software enablement and finally component discussions.
