Infinidat joins forces with VMware to tackle IoT security threats
Infinidat , a leading provider of multipetabyte data storage solutions , has joined forces with VMware to deliver a comprehensive software-defined data center solution that tackles current and evolving IoT Edge security threats . All industries are undergoing major Digital Transformation , leveraging technology to improve customer experiences , operational efficiency , enhance business agility and create competitive advantage . IoT solutions play an essential part in meeting these objectives , as they enable Digital Transformation processes by extending software control of physical assets to optimize performance and enhance flexibility .
A recent report , Worldwide Global DataSphere IoT Device and Data Forecast , 2019 – 2023 from International Data Corporation ( IDC ), estimates that there will be 41.6 billion connected IoT devices .
Yet , data also shows that large companies , typically with 10,000 – 25,000 network devices in their IT estate , are using devices that are ageing and prone to failure . Concerningly , the latest Unit 42 IoT Threat Report , identifies that nearly three quarters of enterprise security professionals feel that their current security controls are inadequate for unmanaged and IoT devices , leaving organizations vulnerable to new IoTtargeted threats . www . intelligentcio . com INTELLIGENTCIO
