In the European Union, the Radio Equipment Directive (RED) has long set the rules for wireless devices, ensuring that they meet safety, spectrum efficiency, and compatibility requirements. But in 2025, compliance is getting tougher: new cybersecurity standards adopted under RED, including EN 18031, will require IoT devices to have stronger protections against cyber threats, privacy […]

As cyberattacks become increasingly sophisticated, so too must cybersecurity initiatives and technologies. However, IoT technologies in particular seem to have lagged behind. Many IoT devices have weak cyber defenses, if they have any at all. Something as seemingly mundane as a smart dishwasher or smart lighting system might allow nefarious actors to gain access to […]

IoT manufacturers in every region have a host of data privacy standards and laws to comply with, and now the EU is adding one more: the Cyber Resilience Act, or CRA. While the CRA has some aspects that are simply common sense and others that overlap with already existing standards, there are some aspects that […]

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a hot topic in video surveillance. It hasn’t been that long since surveillance cameras only had the capability to record video and upload that video to a central system on demand. Contrast that with the amazing things IoT surveillance systems can do today. A smart surveillance camera can provide […]
