Safeguarding IoT networks: The role of advanced Intrusion Detection Systems As IoT continues to expand across smart cities, healthcare, agriculture, and industrial automation, the scale and complexity of cyber threats are growing. The interconnected nature of IoT makes it vulnerable to diverse attack vectors, such as unauthorized access, data theft, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, and malicious intrusions. Traditional security mechanisms are often insufficient for IoT environments due to the resource-constrained nature of devices and the dynamic nature of threats. This underscores the critical need for IDS that are both lightweight and adaptive. The rapid expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT) has transformed industries and daily life, enabling the seamless connection of billions of devices. However, this interconnectivity has brought significant security challenges, making IoT networks increasingly vulnerable to malicious activities. Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS...

IoT Software and Platform Development: Unlocking the Power of Connected Ecosystems IN THE digital age, the Internet of Things or IoT is no longer just a fancy word. It is redefining industries by allowing devices to communicate, share data, and automate everything from data to tasks. Although the heroes behind this phenomenal shift tend to be overlooked — IoT platform development and IoT software development forge the connected integrated systems. What makes these technologies so significant though? Here’s delving into how IoT platforms and software are shaping the way for a smarter and more connected world. What Are IoT Platforms and Software? Basically, IoT platforms work as a link aiding hardware like sensors and devices to communicate with user applications. They accumulate and process data in real-time, ensuring that businesses make better decisions based on the same. IoT software, in the meantime, provides the features to manage devices and data streams the right way. As William ...

The Environmental Impact of Fast Fashion, Explained Fast fashion has a significant environmental impact. According to the UN Environment Programme, the industry is the second-biggest consumer of water and is responsible for about 10% of global carbon emissions – more than all international flights and maritime shipping combined. Unfortunately, the industry’s problems are often overlooked by consumers. — What Is Fast Fashion? The term fast fashion has become more prominent in conversations surrounding fashion, sustainability, and environmental consciousness. The term refers to “cheaply produced and priced garments that copy the latest catwalk styles and get pumped quickly through stores in order to maximise on current trends.” The fast fashion model is so-called because it involves the rapid design, production, distribution, and marketing of clothing. This means that retailers are able to pull large quantities of greater product variety and allow consumers to get more fashion and produ...

Improving production performance with real-time monitoring Real-time monitoring enhances efficiency and reliability in manufacturing by providing continuous feedback on machinery performance, allowing for optimized operations and adaptability to market changes.

Collaboration and Communications Security is Still Lacking Attacks on enterprise communication systems continue to rapidly evolve in size, scope, and sophistication, especially as AI allows for enhanced targeting as well as voice and video impersonation. For the last three years Metrigy has gathered data from end user organizations on how they are handling the increasing threats to their communications and collaboration applications. And those threats are increasing. Among the nearly 340 participating organizations in this year’s study, 20.5% say they have had an attack on their communications, collaboration, and/or contact center platforms and applications in 2023. That represents an increase of almost 300% since we first started gathering this data in 2021. While participants typically don’t share the details of their attacks, a wide range of vectors exist for those seeking to achieve financial gain or cause harm and disruption. Examples include: Toll fraud attacks designed to gener...
