IoT Devices: A New Age of Connectivity
The Internet of Things (IoT) has led to a substantial increase in the number of devices connected to the internet, ranging from typical desktops and laptops to appliances, thermostats, cameras, and sensors.
However, despite the convenience these devices provide, their security leaves much to be desired. Vulnerabilities arise due to poor firmware quality, outdated protocols, and irregular updates, creating potential entry points for attackers and exposing networks to risks such as Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks.
Big Network allows you to build secure private networks for your IoT devices, enabling remote communication and management without exposure to the Internet.
Privacy is another major concern for IoT devices. A 2020 Unit 42 IoT Threat Report revealed that "98% of all IoT device traffic is unencrypted, exposing personal and confidential data on the network."
Despite these threats, device manufacturers often prioritize product value over networking elements, making it challenging to build secure and private networking software. Consequently, devices are left exposed on the internet at large, presenting unnecessary security risks.
Big Network offers a unique solution: private networks for devices. Our software and hardware can create secure, private networks for IoT devices, effectively taking them off the global internet. With Big Network, secure networks can be built on top of the internet exclusively for devices, with secured provisions from IoT devices to remote clients and deployment of on-premise, core, and cloud gateways as required.
Device manufacturers can integrate Big Network Apps into their IoT devices to provide a secure endpoint between their devices and customers. Integrators and installers can leverage the Big Network Edge to adapt legacy platforms to secure and private networking technology, thus significantly reducing the attack surface.
Big Network offers centralized configuration and orchestration of Cloud Networks, Edge Virtual, and Big Apps. Our solution ensures secure and private L2/L3 networks across devices, sites, data centers, the Cloud, and users, while using commodity internet service for secure transport. With Big Network, devices can easily connect to Cloud Networks using Big Apps.
For integrators, deployment is simple. You configure a Cloud Network in the Big Network Portal, deploy the Edge Virtual to the site hosting your IoT Devices, and then integrate your Cloud Network with your devices. Remote and mobile users can easily connect to your Cloud Networks using Big Apps.
