As devices and data proliferate, networks need to be resilient and flexible enough to handle the information explosion. The performance and security of many tasks — from remote work to video streaming to data analytics — rely on a rock-solid network.

As a result, IoT network connectivity and network management has moved to the fore in IT management. It’s critical to managing and protecting the data that is now the currency of the enterprise. But networks need performance and security monitoring to ensure that they can stand up to new connectivity needs and be protected from malicious attacks.

In the following networking guide, we explore new connectivity options and network management techniques that improve network speed and responsiveness.

Check out our network trends guide below for more.

Networking and Architecture

In this section, we explore how tools such as networking automation, brought about through network configuration, can enable new capabilities. We also examine the architecture required to achieve this kind of efficient networking: edge computing.

AI Data Processing at the Edge Reduces Costs, Data Latency

As the number of edge devices increases exponentially, sending high volumes of data to the cloud could swiftly overwhelm budgets and broadband capabilities. Deep learning, a subset of machine learning, reduces cost and connectivity burdens.
IoT Trends, 2021: Time to Focus on Fundamentals

IoT Trends, 2021: Time to Focus on Fundamentals

IoT trends in 2021 show promise. Core needs such as health-and-safety efforts and equipment monitoring will be benefit, though customer experience will develop.

Enthusiasm for 5G is growing.

Will 5G Buildout Slow or Accelerate in the COVID-19 Era?

5G buildout may take a short-term hit given the economic downturn. But could it flourish longer term?

5G in Manufacturing Shows Promise, but Rollouts Are Incremental

While 5G in manufacturing is poised for breakout, it may take time to take hold.

Top IoT Trends to Watch in 2020

From edge computing to blockchain to 5G technologies, here are the top IoT trends in 2020.
How Enterprises Should Prep for 5G’s Network Traffic Boom

How Enterprises Should Prep for 5G’s Network Traffic Boom

The shift to 5G means more speed but also potentially more costs and new hardware considerations. Here's how to handle the increased data traffic to come.

Mobility as a Service Becomes Default with 5G?

Mobility as a Service Becomes Default with 5G?

As mobility becomes the center of IT operations, we’ll eventually see the end of networks and data centers as the functions they enable become the province of carrier networks and the cloud.We can expect 'everything as a service.'

 

Return on 5G Infrastructure Investment Remains a Puzzle

COVID-19 casts doubt on previous projections regarding 5G infrastructure investment.

Network Security and Data Privacy

IoT devices invite new points of attack. This section explores IoT security issues and some of the tactics to address them

Connected Vehicles’ Use of Protected Data Brings Privacy Concerns

Connected Vehicles’ Use of Protected Data Brings Privacy Concerns

Connected cars ingest vast amounts of data about drivers’ location, routes, driving habits and even moods. In the wrong hands, this personal information could be misused for discriminatory purposes.

 

Building a Foundation for AI in Cybersecurity

Making effective use of AI in cybersecurity demands a careful approach.

An Integrated Approach to IoT Security

This e-book provides a comprehensive framework to help organizations reduce risk in IoT products and environments.

Five Principles in a Zero-Trust Security Approach to IoT

IoT devices have created vulnerability for IT networks, but a zero-trust security approach can lock down attack vectors. Here are five key principles.

Securing IoT at the Edge Is Key to Safe IoT Operations

With unsecured IoT devices at the edge, IoT environments are vulnerable to malicious threats that disrupt operations.
Auto Cybersecurity Hardware Often Ignored

Auto Cybersecurity Hardware Often Ignored

Automotive cyber-security hardware remains a relatively small market and a missing piece in vehicle protection.

Protecting Connected Car Over-Air Software Updates

Protecting Connected Car Over-Air Software Updates

Over-the-air updates of software in cars will be necessary, but updates, too, can be compromised.
Zero Trust IoT Policies Must be Granular

Zero Trust IoT Policies Must be Granular

Granular IoT access policies tailored to the role and function of individual devices will grow more important over time.
