Published on March 17, 2021 by Dawood Ghalaieny<\/a> CEO at ZARIOT<\/p>\n\n\n\n

St Patrick’s track record in driving the snakes out of Ireland has proven irresistible for ZARIOT to leverage his expertise to transform the IoT security landscape.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

ZARIOT has the the aim of securing the future of IoT and to that end has signed an exclusive contract with Saint Patrick to replicate his successes in converting unbelievers to believers and driving the snakes from Ireland. At ZARIOT we believe that the future of IoT means driving the snakes that exist within IoT out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In St Patrick we believe that in one swoop, he can both educate and convert the masses to recognise the lack of control and the vulnerabilities that exist within cellular IoT – and in the same breath eliminate them from the IoT landscape. This is why ZARIOT made sure that we were able to secure such a formidable force in education and control as Saint Patrick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When St Patrick met the team at ZARIOT and we explained the vision we had in using best of breed technologies to irradicate unnecessary security vulnerabilities and be able to control IoT within the network in a manageable way, he was in.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

When considering the IoT control and security landscape there is a significant deficit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Visibility<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When 10,000 faulty IoT devices misbehave and create signalling issues simultaneously the entire mobile network is affected. ZARIOT has the capability to control those devices for the network and alert the enterprise to the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) Security<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to hacking attempts in IoT, it\u2019s naturally thought of as IP vectors that should be protected against. Its generally not on the checklist as to whether signalling attacks like denial of service, location tracking, SMS interception and injection as well as data interception are taken care of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) Control<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Your<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Apart from these concerns, there is a need for granular physical control over the thousands of devices deployed, so that if SIMs are stolen out of devices enterprises are alerted and the SIMs restricted before its inserted into another device and large bills mount up. In the same vein should the IoT device move from the location its supposed to be in that its immediately recognised and control measures put in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of ZARIOT and St Patrick \u2013 two very strong characters with personalities to match working with each other how do we see that shaping up?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we all know ZARIOT is very much the strong silent type, a real Guinness drinker and very fond of his pint \u2013 so as you can imagine a lot of those issues will be ironed out amicably between them over a few pints of plain in the snug of an Irish bar around the world, starting with the snug in O\u2019Donogues on Baggot Street, of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
