Malicious attacks on IoT and critical infrastructure gather pace

As the globe continues to wobble through the reverberations of COVID-19, observers say that the impact on critical infrastructure is likely to worsen. Critical infrastructure – which includes government institutions, utilities, transportation and more – is now more vulnerable than ever given an exponential increase in attacks on the IoT technology that powers it. Such […]

Weather still a challenge to autonomous vehicles

In the drive towards full autonomy, vehicle makers and solutions providers must tackle a nearly impossible variety of factors. Some of these, often necessarily, are more attention-grabbing than others but there are numerous ones just as critical that don’t typically appear in auto technology headlines. One is the weather, which is somewhat odd because information […]

Smart-city technology drives efficient disaster response and recovery

From heatwave-induced wildfires in the West to unrelenting hurricanes in the Southeast, natural disasters are increasing in frequency and severity due to climate change. As evidenced in 2020’s historic year of extreme cases, totaling 22 separate billion-dollar weather and climate disasters, we can expect this trend to continue. Today, wildfire season is longer and more severe […]

Starlink speeds accelerate in Q2, with lower latencies than GEO satellite services, Ookla says

Starlink’s overall speeds continue to outpace those of fellow satellite broadband services Viasat and HughesNet, but its median download speeds in the US are starting to enter the neighborhood of fixed-line broadband networks, according to Ookla’s latest round of Speedtest data. Ookla’s data for Q2 2021 found that Starlink’s median download speeds in the US climbed […]

5 key lessons from ICS attacks through the ages

Imagine it’s 1903 and you’re standing in front of a large hotel on a remote peninsula cliffside in Poldhu (Cornwall, UK). Despite the large antennas next to it or the huge kite that sometimes flies antennas even higher, you might not realize you are looking at the site of historic wireless telegraph communications — or the victim of the […]

Trying to apply ethics to driverless technology

Nearly a year ago the European Commission published a report on the ethics of data and artificial intelligence in connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs). Part of the discussion in the text is about data and artificial intelligence (AI) ethics to provide some insight into the data protection issues automakers are expected to overcome. According to […]

Collaborative PS-IOT could supply missing pieces in public safety’s common operating picture

The explosive growth of the LTE ecosystem results from standardized open interfaces that enable the interconnection of innovative devices and networks. Much as LTE has grown thanks to a virtuous cycle spawned by standardized interfaces, so will future advances in public-safety command and control systems. At Fire Rescue International 2021 in Charlotte, innovators brought at […]

Multiple zero-day flaws discovered in popular hospital pneumatic-tube system

Tucked behind the interior walls of thousands of hospitals in the US are little-known networks of air-pressurized tube systems that transport medications, bloodwork, and test samples among hospital departments, lab, and the operating room. One of the most popular of these so-called pneumatic tube system (PTS) stations recently was found to be harboring several vulnerabilities […]

DevSecOps brings payoff through security by design

As IoT looks to resolve its vulnerability woes, an emerging blend of DevOps and coding security practices holds promise, although a mental shift is required. DevSecOps brings IT development, IT operations, and security principles closer together, with the goal of making technology products more robust. When implemented alongside principles of security by design, it should […]
