What is the Internet of Things?

What is the Internet of Things?

All across the globe, people are connecting to the Internet to access information, communicate with other people, and do business. But it’s not just people that are using the Internet: objects use it too. Machine-to-machine communication is widely used in the manufacturing and energy sectors to track machinery operations, report faults and raise service alerts. Increasingly, everyday objects are also using the Internet to connect to the cloud forming an ‘Internet of Things’. It’s estimated that 1.9bn devices are already connected to this Internet of Things (source: BI Intelligence.) Some of the most prominent Internet of Things sensors or devices in the consumer sphere so far have been activity and fitness monitors like the Nike FuelBand and Fitbit, the Google Glass wearable computer and ‘Hive’ connected heating systems from British Gas. Sports equipment manufacturer ASICS used Salesforce to develop its Support Your Marathoner website, delivering messages of support to a trackside screen when a unique tag was detected on the athlete’s shoe. The Internet of Things is growing rapidly, and it’s forecast that, by 2020, it could include between 30 billion and 75 billion things ranging from smartbands, toys and photoframes to medical devices, earthquake sensors and aeroplanes. Why is everyone talking about the Internet of Things? The Internet of Things is set to revolutionise business – and in particular, the relationship between organisations and their customers. That’s because it creates a completely new channel of communication. And like the Internet, it will create huge opportunities for companies ready to exploit it. Networking giant Cisco predicts that the opportunity represented by the Internet of Things will be worth $14.4...

Top 7 IoT Gadgets for Christmas

The new buzzword on many people’s lips as we head into the Christmas period is the Internet of Things or IoT. Experts are predicting that the influence exerted by IoT will fundamentally transform most aspects of our lives. So just what is this all about? The IoT is merely a network of inter-connected devices and machines that can collect and share data with each another via the internet. This is not small news, for it is estimated that from the start of 2015 up to 2020, in excess £4.5 trillion (1) will have been invested in IoT solutions. Further estimates are suggesting that a total of 34 billion IoT devices will be connected, by then. Many of these devices are used in business, of course, though many others will enter the retail consumer markets. The way we eat, shop and sleep will be affected by technology that is being described as potentially bigger than the industrial revolution. Here are 7 IoT devices that could change our everyday lives or are nice Christmas presents.

Web/Mobile Penetration Testing: Black Box vs. White Box

Web/Mobile Penetration Testing: Black Box vs. White Box

If you are considering having your network penetration tested then more than likely you with either go down the black box or white box route. Black Box Testing The main differences are that with black box texting the testers are given very little or no information prior to the penetration test. It is also referred to as “blind testing” because the tester has to find an open route to access the network. White Box Testing Is when the tester is given full disclosure about the network prior to the penetration testing. This will include IP addresses, source code, network protocols and diagrams. Also known as “Full Disclosure” testing. Grey Box Testing “Partial Disclosure Testing” In between black box and white box testing, you will find grey box penetration testing. The penetration tester will be given partial details about the network infrastructure. Pros & Cons of Back Box & White Box Testing In a black box penetration test the attacker will be unfamiliar with the network, which is generally more realistic to everyday penetration attacks or “hacks”. This will stimulate more accurate results, as they will not be privy to any additional information and would give you the most realistic indication of potential threats to your network. White Box penetration testing would indicate results if you had a threat from inside the network that was using knowledge of your network, such as IP addresses, router access, active ports, web servers, FTP, and even passwords. A black box tester would not have this information and usually unable to scan the network for threats as thoroughly.   Vinova is providing affordable and...
