Don’t discount the coffee machine on your network – it may be a serious vulnerability
In the push for Smart technology, organisations are starting to find that seemingly random devices are popping up on their enterprise networks. While these may seem innocuous additions, they can present serious cybersecurity vulnerabilities, another easily-hacked...
Creating Smart Cities using data and IoT technology
The Covid-19 pandemic has shown the use (and even necessity) of collecting data en masse – something that proponents of Smart Cities have been pushing for years. Of course, there are limits to the usefulness of simply collecting any and all kinds of data, and...
Old security vulnerabilities come back to haunt modern industrial and IoT products
The importance of security by design has been recently highlighted by a discovery of 19 vulnerabilities in a lightweight TCP/IP library released back in the 1990s, known as Ripple20. Though it was released nearly 30 years ago, this realisation has made organisations...
Zero-trust – beyond just a security concept
Zero-trust is among the many buzzwords and terms that have now become popular in the cybersecurity community. And with good reason: zero-trust models offer organisations the chance to take control of their security, ensuring their devices and systems are protected by...
Web cams and other IoT devices remain wildly insecure
As IoT devices continue to proliferate, the communications protocols they use puts millions of users’ data in danger of a serious breach. There are two protocols that have proven to be especially vulnerable – CS2 Network P2P and Shenzhen Yunni iLnkP2P – though, of...
Using 5G to unlock the potential of edge computing
Edge computing has been hailed as the new frontier of networking, focusing on decentralising some of the services and data that has been pushed to the cloud. In pre-COVID times, this may have come in the form of a local data centre, which would hold data necessary to...

Angoka is pleased to announce that we have been named as the runner-up for Digital DNA’s Startup of the Year award. The Digital DNA Awards highlight the brilliant work done by Northern Irish companies, promoting and celebrating the talent within the fast-growing NI...
Standardisation for interoperability is key to the future of IoT
At its core, Internet of Things technologies are reliant on the ability for one machine to communicate with another machine, exchanging critical data and valuable analysis. With the proliferation of “Smart” devices, it is crucial to consider the data interoperability...
Remote workers facing cyberattacks on their routers
Recent research has shown that remote workers are facing a massive increase in brute force attacks on home routers and other consumer IoT devices. TrendMicro has reported that various cybercriminals are in an ongoing battle to disrupt as many devices as possible to...
IoT vulnerabilities expand exponentially with each insecure device
While groups involved in cybercrime have different interests and varying targets, there is no doubt that those targeting IoT-dependent systems are benefitting from a plethora of insecure devices and lack of basic security measures. A recent TrendMicro report...
