It’s been nearly three years since UNECE WP.29 regulations came into force for new vehicle types in Europe, and the global ripple effect is in full motion. WP.29 laid the groundwork for how cybersecurity is handled across the automotive lifecycle – from design and development through post-production and updates.

Guide to IoT/OT Visibility and Control: The Importance of Machine Identity Automation for Device Security is now available to download.

This comprehensive resource explores why identity is now the new security perimeter and how organizations can achieve visibility, automation, and compliance across their connected device estate at scale.

In a significant shift for digital identity management, the maximum lifespan of public TLS certificates is set to be reduced to just 47 days, following a new policy from Apple’s Root Program. With Google expected to follow suit, the clock is ticking faster than ever on certificate validity and that has profound implications for businesses relying on manual processes.

The exponential growth of Internet of Things (IoT) deployments across enterprise environments has fundamentally transformed how organizations approach cybersecurity. The rapid increase in IoT connections has significantly expanded the attack surface, making it more challenging to secure networks.

The transformation of urban environments through Internet of Things (IoT) technology has created unprecedented opportunities for improving city services, enhancing quality of life, and optimizing resource utilization. This process of digital transformation modernizes and integrates city infrastructures, improving efficiency but also introducing new cybersecurity challenges. However, smart city security presents complex challenges that extend far beyond traditional IT infrastructure protection, encompassing public safety, critical infrastructure resilience, and citizen privacy concerns.

The traditional network security model of “trust but verify” has become fundamentally inadequate for protecting modern Internet of Things (IoT) environments. With enterprise IoT deployments spanning millions of connected devices across distributed networks, organizations can no longer rely on perimeter-based security that assumes internal network traffic is inherently trustworthy.

The automotive industry stands at a critical juncture where traditional mechanical systems converge with sophisticated digital technologies. Modern vehicles contain hundreds of electronic control units (ECUs), multiple communication networks, and constant connectivity to external systems. This transformation has created unprecedented opportunities for innovation while simultaneously introducing complex cybersecurity challenges that threaten both vehicle safety and driver privacy. As vehicles become more connected, concerns about security and privacy have grown, highlighting the need for robust protective measures.

The Internet of Things (IoT) has fundamentally transformed how devices connect and communicate across networks, but this connectivity brings unprecedented security challenges. At the heart of securing IoT ecosystems lies device certificate management – a critical component that ensures authentic device identity and secure communications through Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). Companies, enterprises, and organizations rely on device certificate management to secure IoT devices, maintain trust, and protect sensitive data across their networks.

The healthcare industry has rapidly embraced Internet of Things (IoT) technology, with connected medical devices transforming patient care delivery, operational efficiency, and clinical outcomes. However, this digital transformation brings unprecedented cybersecurity challenges that must navigate complex regulatory landscapes while maintaining patient safety and privacy. Addressing these challenges requires a globally harmonized approach, with international organizations and industry collaborations working to establish unified best practices and standards for healthcare IoT security.
