Managing networked complexity for better living
asvin BeeHive IoT update distribution platform for seamless OTA security to support the lifetime of Smart Cities IoT fleets
Cities need to deploy enormous quantities of sensors for monitoring the critical layers related to municipal infrastructure such as water supply, energy management, traffic control, and protecting the environment. The ability to maintain the effectiveness of these devices across their lifecycle includes controlling cyber risk and performing rollout strategies presents an enormous logistical challenge.
Infrastructure Security and Trust
Smart City networks are becoming increasingly more complex and heterogeneous with devices supporting an infinite array of processes and services provided. Ensuring system security and trust in the components, services, and data protection of these complex infrastructures is incredibly challenging.
Lifetime Maintenance of IoT
Just as roads and ensuring water supply require maintenance so too do smart assets. Smart infrastructure demands continuous software updates and security patches as well as correcting critically defective assets all within a secure architecture.
Preventing Cyberattacks
From sensors at the edge, data integrity, APIs to Cloud services, the infrastructure of Smart Cities provides incredible allure to state-sponsored cyberattacks; protecting these valuable assets demands hypervigilance.
Monitoring Risks
Smart Cities deploy massive fleets of IoT devices to create the necessary infrastructure to efficiently run all of a municipalities’ connected assets. As the breadth of services expand and the volume of devices deployed increases maintaining device integrity, correcting vulnerabilities, and mitigating any potential security risk will become more arduous.

asvin Beehive: Manage, Update, and Control Device Fleets
asvin’s Beehive is an easy-to-use intuitive online platform that ensures administrative control and provides an overview of your organisations’ Internet of Things devices in operation. asvin Beehive allows organisations to establish user groups and define roles to manage and control tasks such as blacklisting and whitelisting fleet devices, gain access to the telemetric data of specific devices and plan maintenance actions for groups of specific IoT devices. asvin Beehive can be integrated into Smart Cities architectures and platforms (e.g. FIWARE and ZENNER Elements) and supports such open standards as NGSI, JSON, MQTT, and REST.
asvin Ant Street: Over-The-Air Updates and Patch Distribution
Plan, schedule, and rollout distribution of updates and security patches to IoT device fleets via asvin’s cryptographically secure and distributed just-in-time by decentralized technology (DLT) Ant Street. Updates are cascaded to the right device within predetermined scheduled maintenance windows. asvin’s Ant Street supports OTA updates for IoT-specific RF protocols as LoRaWAN, 5G, NB-IoT, WLAN, and LAN to name just a few.
asvin Paw Print: Unique IDs and Fingerprints for IoT Devices, Software, and Firmware
Create and store unique IDs for IoT devices and their related hardware and software with physical unclonable functions (PUF) and trusted platform modules (TPM) for embedded systems in an immutable DLT for maximum resilience.
asvin Trackhound: Software Supply Chain Tracking
asvin’s Trackhound brings transparency into the software supply chain. From initial device installation and software deployment, subsequent OTA updates, and security patch distribution to forensic audits, Trackhound allows administrators to increase network security and ensure software integrity. Track and trace the entire software supply chain and lifecycles of IoT device fleets.
asvin Eagle Eye: Risk Management, Monitoring, and Alarming
asvin’s Eagle Eye renders continuous monitoring of IoT device fleets. Using advanced machine learning analytics (AI) asvin’s Eagle Eye provides anomaly detection to ensure network and individual registered device integrity. In the event of a cyberattack or operational dysfunctionalities, Eagle Eye’s risk management and alarming protocols are triggered and support counteraction protocols including the isolation of vulnerable devices.
