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.
