We know security standards are needed to prepare for the spread of IoT. In the very near future, data tracking and gathering will be ubiquitous with our daily life.

I can unlock my front door and change the temperature of my house from my phone kilometres away. My insurance company can track how safe a driver I am by installing a device in my car. My city can track stormwater levels.

One of the key attributes of commercial IoT products like a water-level data-logger is that its main purpose is to get the data it’s tracking to an application so that customers can make better decisions. For large organizations like cities who are buying IoT devices in large quantities, keeping the cost low is key.

It’s tough to predict the future and know how IoT-use cases will evolve, so we’ve taken the steps to build in a higher level of end-to-end security features in our solutions right now. They aren’t needed with many of our current products, but we want to make sure that if a higher security level is required it won’t cost our users more to keep them safe.
