Ep # 29: How to Manage IoT Security in Private Networks - with Jimmy Jones, ZARIOT
IoT is a lynchpin to digitizing smart manufacturing, smart cities, and many other industrial enterprises. However, its adoption is often plagued by security concerns. The 5G enhancements that support 1 million devices per square kilometer also increase the attack surface for cybercriminals. An entire business network can be compromised due to vulnerabilities in a connected surveillance camera or even smart bulbs. Though private LTE and 5G networks are theoretically designed for highly secure and controlled network access, are they ready to safely handle the massive influx of connections? Let’s find out!
Our guest for todays’ podcast is Jimmy Jones, the Head of Security for ZARIOT. I have had the privilege of working with Jimmy at many companies, and he is undoubtedly one of the brightest technical minds I have come across with sales acumen. He has held many positions in the tech world, from engineer to sales to business development lead at several companies such as WorldCom, PCI, Positive Technologies, Ribbon Communications, and NexTone.
In our discussion today, we will uncover a few things, such as:
- What IoT security gaps enterprises should watch for?
- How does the use of private networks help secure the IoT?
- What were some of the security learnings from the initial stages of IoT deployment that will influence its prospects in the private 5G implementations? and
- What are the biggest challenges companies face when using a private network with IoT connections?
So, let us welcome Jimmy Jones.
