No one wants their secrets leaked on the internet. But as companies become more digitized, more confidential information is being kept online, leaving behind digital breadcrumb trails. The emerging importance of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) security in relation to asset tracking is no surprise to any company, but what actions are being taken to ensure security in asset tracking solutions?
There has been rapid growth in recent years of IIoT devices across companies. With this increase, has come an uptick of cyber attacks that compromise the security of data stored in digital company records. In particular, the emerging use of industrial IoT asset tracking solutions, means even more data being stored in-the-cloud that companies need to protect.
Asset tracking platforms help companies better manage inventory, while monitoring asset conditions. It’s important for companies to know how secure the technology they’re using is by selecting an asset tracking solution that runs on a secure network, free from breach risks. Lack of knowledge about associated risks can lead to loss of money or even trade secrets. As technology gets smarter, so do hackers.
Some companies are hesitant to implement IIoT solutions due to worries about the security of these systems. While there are security concerns with any technology, there are ways to prevent IIoT security threats.
Symphony Link is a Link Labs solution used to transmit asset information securely. Through the use of a Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) gateway, the system does not strain a user’s external wifi network and ensures data is free of security threats and risks. Symphony Link ensures that data is only shared between the connected devices.
All asset tracking technologies require IIoT cloud-based software to transmit data. And at Link Labs, we know how important it is to maintain a secure network. That’s why we have developed an IIoT asset tracking platform to prevent associated risks.
