Xage emerges from stealth with a blockchain-based IoT security solution
Summary
Getting the myriad of devices involved in the industrial internet of things provisioned and communicating with one another in a secure way will be one of the great technological challenges facing companies in the coming years.They do this by building a trusted network of people, machines and applications on the blockchain, which creates an irrefutable connection among these different entities and prevents anyone who has not been given explicit permission from gaining access.The [security] fabric enables the devices and AI and people to communicate with each other and controls the flow of information,” he explained.“Any to any communication at the edge with many devices is the worst case scenario for security because you are creating the maximum attack surface,” he said.What ends up getting deployed is a security fabric, a set of gateways and client devices on the industrial edge that form the blockchain among themselves,” he said.
