🛡️Safety and traceability

The crucial issues of safety and traceability

In addition to its complexity, the IoT also faces major challenges in terms of data security and traceability.

Security is critical in the IoT, as the data collected is often sensitive, and the consequences of hacking can be dramatic. Yet many connected objects still present vulnerabilities. The radio protocols used often lack encryption. Object firmware is rarely updated, leaving backdoors. Authentications are weak, allowing access to object networks. On the infrastructure side, the vulnerabilities of centralized cloud servers or insecure databases also express IoT data. The issue of traceability is just as critical. Once collected by objects, it is impossible to guarantee the integrity and origin of the data in transit. Data can be lost, corrupted or modified before it reaches business applications. How can we trust this data if we can't trace its precise path?

CONNECTIFY places security and traceability at the heart of its approach, thanks to the contribution of blockchain.
