1Consumers have come to expect Internet connectivity in electronics of all kinds, and manufacturers are racing to meet these expectations, even stoking them, as they race towards a near-future where virtually every electrically powered device is connected.

As our electronics get more complex, they become easier to compromise. Medical devices can make your identity and health data vulnerable to thieves, video feeds to security cameras can be replaced with dummy content, pranksters have reprogrammed electronic highway signs, even the coffee maker could be an easy target to infect hosts for malicious attacks on other network nodes.

The tools to prevent such activity need to be similarly ubiquitous. Read this white paper to learn about a new approach to what’s needed. When you download this white paper, Mocana will offer you a free trial of the NanoSec software for your evaluation.
