AT&T and Ericsson are teaming up to provide comprehensive testing for organisations to safeguard connected devices.
According to AT&T, only 10% of its surveyed organisations say they are confident about their devices having sufficient security measures in place. The operator has seen an increase in vulnerability scans of IoT devices at the company in the last two years.
When it comes to the home, and specifically the technology at the heart of most people’s homes, the television has a big role to play.
On average, people spend more time interacting with television than any other single activity. Of course, we aren’t all sitting down to watch scheduled programmes in the way families did in previous decades, at least not most of the time, but rumours of its death have been greatly exaggerated.

German reinsurer Munich Re, through its subsidiary Hartford Steam Boiler (HSB), has acquired 100% of IoT middleware startup Relayr, at a valuation of $300 million.
Relayr, which has partnered with HSB and Munich Re since 2006, will continue to function as an independent entity to maintain its distinct company culture, drive innovation and attract IoT talent. What’s more, the companies noted that Relayr will benefit from...
Smart, connected 'things' can report their current state and send alerts when problems appear. However, these products are still not intelligent enough to work without human participation, and a certain degree of monitoring, control, and maintenance is needed anyway, which can be an additional burden for vendors.
In such a situation, vendors can resort to independent service providers who focus on similar products from different vendors. Service organisations, in their turn, may find new opportunities...

When the new generation of Cat-M1 (LTE-M) and NB-IoT networks began rolling out, there was considerable speculation as to which markets would push forward each technology. The two largest U.S. carriers decided to prioritize Cat-M1 networks, while Chinese operators prioritized NB-IoT with its simpler and less costly technology.
At the time, Cat-M1 and NB-IoT were considered to be competing technologies. However, most mobile network operators have...
