Those who want to learn how to safeguard their connected IoT programmes from cyber attacks should tune into an IMC webinar on August 31.

Called “Using intelligence to defend against cellular IoT device attacks”, the webinar will be presented by Drew Johnson, executive vice president at Aeris,

Cyber-security attacks are on the rise, up 240% since the second half of 2021. Detection and remediation of security breaches can be slow at up to 287 days to detect and very costly at $4.2m on average per incident.

IoT programmes and the connected devices to support those programmes are especially vulnerable due to the sheer number of end points and uncontrolled environments. Security attacks are continuously evolving, and it is near impossible to predict the next set of IoT attacks.

Traditional device-based security is insufficient and cannot address these evolving and unforeseen attacks. What are IoT leaders in the industry doing about it to protect their customers’ IoT investments and reputation?

To find out, join Johnson to learn how to safeguard connected IoT programmes from the various types of attacks and threats, and corresponding cellular IoT security best practices that can be implemented to prevent such attacks.

Johnson will also speak about the latest cellular IoT security built on machine learning (ML) intelligence that can enable users to stay a step-ahead of evolving and unforeseen attacks on IoT devices and programmes.

Johnson is an engineering specialist and technologist with more than 30 years of experience at large and small companies. He is executive vice president of product and technology at IoT firm Aeris. Before that, he was vice president of engineering at mobile and messaging software company Openwave and director of engineering at Austin mobile start-up SoloMio.

He started his career at Compaq Computer working on the first generations of mobile computing devices and, under his product and engineering leadership, he has assisted corporations in winning numerous product awards.

Johnson has a master of artificial intelligence degree from the University of Illinois and holds more than 25 patents.
