Trustwave, last week unveiled a new cloud-based Internet-of-Things (IoT) security suite targeted to help industrial and business users to pro-actively identify and remediate IoT related threats and vulnerabilities. Trustwave said that preventing IoT-related data breaches is two-fold -- technology manufacturers must incorporate security in their IoT products and the infrastructure surrounding them, and businesses that use IoT technologies must effectively monitor the ecosystem of databases, networks and web and mobile applications supporting those devices.
According to Trustwave Managed, its new IoT Security fulfills both of those requirements. It incorporates Security into IoT Infrastructure where developers and providers of IoT products and services use Trustwave Managed IoT Security to find weaknesses in embedded devices, back-end services and the connections in between.

As everyday objects connect to the network, IT teams struggle to manage assets and attack vectors previously outside their purview. Manufacturers of those products also struggle with getting them out to market on time while ensuring security. Trustwave's Managed IoT Security helps both parties overcome those challenges by identifying and remediating security weaknesses within the products and ecosystem surrounding them in addition to round the clock monitoring to detect and deflect a breach.
