Towards a Standardized Cybersecurity Certification Framework for the IoT

January 30, 2018

The presence of IoT devices in the everyday life brings new cybersecurity threats affecting critical infrastructures as part of smart cities. To cope with this issue, the development of a cybersecurity certification framework represents an ambitious initiative, which has attracted an increasing interest from academia, industry and government institutions. However, beyond well-known issues related to expensiveness and flexibility of current solutions, the certification approach must address the dynamic and heterogeneous nature of IoT-enabled environments. In order to address such requirements, this work proposes an architectural framework that aims to provide a precise view of the involved concepts and processes based on security assessment and testing methodologies. While nowadays there is no silver bullet integrated solution, our approach is based on standards and specific technologies currently used in the scope of European initiatives, in order to promote a more standardized vision of a cybersecurity certification framework for the IoT.

Best Modern Practices for Cable Field Testing and Troubleshooting

whitePaper | September 30, 2022

To ensure both the cabling system and installation workmanship meet high-quality standards, cabling should be tested according to industry standards, such as international ISO/IEC, TIA (used in the Americas and some parts of Europe), or other regional standards. However, testing and configuration complexity, including testing parameters and new link models, can introduce challenges for field operators in obtaining warranty certification.

The Right Approach to Zero Trust for IoT Devices

whitePaper | June 6, 2022

Networking and security teams have historically relied on protections at the network perimeter to secure the entire enterprise. The internal network was deemed trusted and secure. While everything outside was considered “dirty,” everything on the internal network was considered “clean,” and application traffic would flow unrestricted. However, recent and developing shifts in enterprise working models are having a far-reaching effect on the traditionally managed network perimeter for security. The following trends are making organizations reassess their approach to security:

The Business Value of Dell Technologies APEX Multicloud and As-a-Service Solutions

whitePaper | August 11, 2023

IDC’s research demonstrates that enterprise organizations are prioritizing digital infrastructure (DX) resiliency as a foundational element of their IT strategy. Organizations are looking for richer levels of visibility, cross-platform control, advanced data management, and protection that spans the entire ecosystem, including public or private cloud, on premises, colocation facility, and edge. DX initiatives rely on data-driven insights to deliver competitive differentiation, increased customer engagement, streamlined business operations, increased staff productivity, and growth in revenue and profitability. IT infrastructure is one of the crucial pillars of DX. In fact, DX cannot succeed without IT transformation, aligned with business strategy to meet or exceed service-level objectives for data-driven insights. Because of this realization, organizations are now focused on managing outcomes instead of IT infrastructure and looking to vendors and partners to help reach this goal.

Accelerating High-Speed Networking with Intel® I/O Acceleration Technology

whitePaper | January 1, 2023

The emergence of multi-Gigabit Ethernet allows data centers to adapt to the increasing bandwidth requirements of enterprise IT. To take full advantage of this network capacity, data center managers must consider the impact of hightraffic volume on server resources. A compelling way of efficiently translating high bandwidth into increased throughput and enhanced quality of service is to take advantage of Intel® I/O Acceleration Technology (Intel® I/OAT), now available in the new Dual-Core and Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® processor-based server platforms. Intel I/OAT moves data more efficiently through these servers for fast, scalable, and reliable networking.
