The Future of IoT with PKI & End-Point Device Management
Thanks to the Internet of Things (IoT) people and places and devices are now more connected than ever before. People can communicate with one another from anywhere in the world; they can control their homes and property with their smart phones no matter where they are at present. These devices can be used in residential and commercial and industrial settings, and from homes to supply chain management they are finding utility. However, as these tools become more popular, security issues also arise. Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and end-point device management have become important tools for addressing the security concerns that accompany IoT.
PKI in IoT
PKI is not a new concept, but its application in the IoT is revolutionary (Pieroni et al., 2020). PKI operates on asymmetric cryptography, where two keys, one public and the other private, are used for permissions. The public key is available to everyone, while the private...
For example, one may have something as simple as a smart thermostat or a connected car that one can only reach remotely. These devices need to communicate with other devices or central servers securely...…to once they are connected. This dual-prong approach to security is helpful, for example, if there is a situation where a smart meter is compromised after connecting to the network. PKI would have ensured its authenticity prior to connection, but post-connection malicious influences were spotted by end-point management tools. Thanks to them corrective action could be taken.Conclusion
The future of IoT really depends on strong security frameworks. PKI and end-point device management offer a robust take on how to solve the security challenges that IoT presents to users all over the world. The more that the two-prong approach of PKI and end-point device management is used, the more secure networks, devices,…

It is because; they ensure the core survival of organization and its assets. However, the ironic fact is the security employees are considered blue collar workers and their compensation packages are low (Hodson & Sullivan,
Securities Regulation SECURITIES REGULARIZATIONS IN NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS The ensuring of the fact that an organization is working as per regulations and is following the code of conduct, while keeping the interest of the public first, are matters which are becoming more and more complicated with the passage of time. Therefore, it can be said with some emphasis, that today one of the most basic issues of many organizations is the issue of
Security for Networks With Internet Access The continual process of enterprise risk management (ERM) has become an integral component of successful organizational assessment, because the process of accurately identifying various risk factors, and interpreting their potential advantages and disadvantages, ensures that a business remains capable of anticipating and addressing internal and external contingencies. The following ERM implementation plan for the security of internet-accessible networks is intended to provide a navigable framework

Security management is "described in some quarters as a function of risk management," (Bulletin 2, Part 2). Although there is some crossover with public sector security functions, such as policing, security management is generally considered a private sector domain. "Whilst private security has a predominantly commercial basis, it should not be forgotten that it does interact with the public to a considerable degree," (Bulletin 2, Part 2). Security management is
Security Management The role of a security manager varies widely according to the particular organization and its needs, but despite this variety, there remain certain best practices and policies that can help maintain security and stability. This is nowhere more true than in the case of organizational loss, because while loss can mean widely different things depending on the field, the underlying theoretical concepts which inform attempts to minimize loss are
