Unparalleled Potential: IoT that's Secure by Design.
When designed and applied with thought, strategy, and consideration, the Internet of Things (IoT) is empowering unprecedented efficiency gains and operational insights, while lowering risk and increasing agility. It’s also transforming the way we interact with our devices, our buildings, and our environments, and accelerating our path towards a world that’s more connected than ever.
It’s no wonder then that 57% of North American and European companies are either already using IoT or plan to implement IoT in their operations in 2023.
Whether you’re wondering if an IoT is right for your organization and looking for guidance on how to evaluate its use case, curious about the history of its development and how it works for business, industry, education, or utilities, or nervous about what securing all those new connections should look like, you’ve come to the right place

What in the World is IoT?
The Internet of Things (IoT) can feel nebulous, so start here if you’re looking to get a break down of the definition of the Internet of Things plus the different parts that make up and power an Internet of Things ecosystem.

The History of IoT
Thanks to developments in connectivity, battery lives, and device size, the Internet of Things has become so well adopted, the number of connected devices surpassed the human population back in 2008. But the history of IoT goes back even further than you might think. Curious to understand how these technologies have evolved? Learn more about how the IoT concept began and progressed through time in our downloadable infographic.

How IoT Can Help Enhance Efficiencies in Higher Education
And How You Can Get Your Institution There Securely
While IoT is transforming work and lives across industries, there are a few that stand out for their unique potential to find benefits from IoT solutions. For higher education, IoT ecosystems can not only deliver operational insights, efficiencies, cost savings, and safety improvements, it can also empower personalized, experiential learning experiences that truly set your institution apart. This blog explores those benefits, as well as the risks, and helps give guidance on how to get started building an IoT ecosystem for colleges and universities that’s secure-by-design, no matter where you are in your journey.

How IoT Gives a Critical Edge to Transportation + Manufacturing Firms
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is a transformation technology that thought leaders like the World Economic Forum and McKinsey consider “pivotal to the future of manufacturing”—especially on the heels of the global pandemic. And, like many new technologies, implementing them in your business can be tricky. It’s common to get caught up in focusing on technology for technology’s sake, without tying it to your business needs and strategy. In this industry-focused blog, we walk through the unique benefits and technologies of the IIoT, as well as the unique security challenges and how to manage them so your transportation or manufacturing firm can gain a critical, competitive edge.

Adventures in IoT: The Journey to Make a Difference
Compugen’s own Azure consultant Julian Galley used Microsoft Azure to apply IoT to a few use cases in his own life, to support his mother’s Alzheimer’s care as well as bring together Compugen customers, business partners, colleagues, friends, and family through a month-long customer and partner event called The Journey to Make a Difference. During the Journey, Galley rode his bike from Calgary to Richmond Hill to raise funds for a cause, the Alzheimer’s Society of Canada, that has taken so many of our loved ones on a different kind of journey.

How IoT is Transforming Oil and Gas, Energy and Utilities Industries
When you take technology out of office and into the field, things get really interesting. For field services and utilities, IoT can not only deliver a wealth of actionable insights from data, but it can also empower remote monitoring and operating, improve safety, accuracy in problem decoding, and enable preventative maintenance. There’s almost limitless opportunity for the IoT to improve efficiencies, revenue, safety, and customer relationships. Of course, these industries also bring unique risks and security threats, so in this blog, we’re giving our expert guidance on how to evaluate the business case and examine security at every step.

Frequently asked Questions
The landscape of security tactics, techniques, frameworks, and protocols is constantly in flux. Our team is dedicated to providing you with the answers you need, empowering you to make informed and strategic business decisions.
When you choose Compugen as your ally, we take you down a path from assessment to recommendations that provides a pre and post-engagement assessment report to provide you with tangible data to identify what we have remediated, implemented, changed, and what work still needs to be done. Security protection is continual, not a project, so progress is the measurement to identify your improvement points.
Unfortunately, the answer here is it depends. The best way to understand what you have in place, what's working, and what vulnerabilities you might have is to follow the path we've outlined on this page. We recommend that you always start with a conversation and a full assessment.
The truth is, no one can ever be 100% secure 100% of the time. What we can do is put a proactive and consistent strategy around current and future security needs and consistently measure your progress to detect and prevent catastrophic threats to your business and your people.
Hackers and threats do not discriminate. Where, how, and what your security strategy looks like will be specific to your business and what matters most to you, but if you have data, then you're a target.
The important this to do is to start. Starting typically begins with a conversation about your business and your role in the organization. Waiting until you’ve been breached puts everyone at a frantic disadvantage with a high up-front cost.
For those who already have a mature security plan in place, we will perform thorough evaluations of your systems, processes, and protocols to test and analyze your roadmap against the latest industry best practices. Based on this assessment, we provide actionable recommendations to strengthen your security strategy and ensure its soundness.
While the digital evolution of IoT and IIoT offers unprecedented efficiency gains and operational insights, it also brings forth a myriad of cybersecurity dangers that demand urgent attention.
Request your IoT assessment to get started. Protect yourself by unlocking insights into your company’s cybersecurity vulnerabilities.
