Early Fire Detection Design Model for Smart Cities: Using AWS IoT and ML Technologies

Introduction The National Fire Protection Association records over one million fires each year. These fires rank as one of the top threats to urban safety in the United States. Currently, fire departments largely rely on traditional fire detection systems composed of in-home smoke detectors, fire call boxes, and public notification (calls) to receive their alerts. […]

Use AWS IoT Device Defender and Splunk to monitor the security posture of your IoT application

Use AWS IoT Device Defender and Splunk to monitor the security posture of your IoT application

With the growing adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) applications in regulated industries, such as healthcare, hardening IoT security devices has become a requirement. In addition to ensuring that backend systems are resilient, organizations increasingly invest effort to secure devices outside the traditional enterprise perimeter with zero trust principles. For example, fleet operators for connected […]

Use location data with AWS IoT Device Management to monitor and manage your IoT fleet

AWS IoT Device Management’s location indexing and geoquery feature allows you to search for devices based on their last reported location. You can list devices that are located within a specific geographic area, perform a proximity search relative to a reference location, implement targeted over-the-air (OTA) updates, derive location-specific device performance insights, and identify devices that are no longer in a desired geographic boundary. In this blog, you will learn how to get started with indexing location data and using geoqueries to support your day-to-day IoT fleet management operations.

Build a Cloud Gateway to Ingest RTSP video to Amazon Kinesis Video Streams

Introduction According to industry researcher IHS Markit, the estimated number of IP cameras deployed worldwide was approaching 1 billion by the end of 2021, and according to Gartner’s Emerging Tech: Revenue Opportunity Projection of Computer Vision report, enterprise computer vision (CV) software, hardware and services in key markets is expected to generate global revenue of […]

AWS IoT Core now supports private certificate authorities with fleet provisioning

Introduction Today, AWS IoT Core announces the general availability of self-managed client certificate signing for AWS IoT Core fleet provisioning. The new self-managed certificate signing capability allows you to integrate with an external certificate authority (CA), your own public key infrastructure (PKI), or popular CA services such as AWS Private CA, to sign certificate signing […]

Device onboarding to AWS IoT using Virtual Private Cloud endpoints

Introduction If you operate secure private networks—such as an assembly line’s operational technology (OT) network at a factory or government agency­—and intend to connect your devices to AWS, then you need to use X.509 client certificates for authenticating requests to AWS services—all while staying within the Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). In this post, we will demonstrate how […]

Securely sending industrial data to AWS IoT services using unidirectional gateways

Introduction Critical infrastructure customers are challenged to make industrial networks more accessible without significantly increasing cybersecurity risks. This is due in part to the common practice of using Industrial IoT (IIoT) and cloud technologies to analyze large volumes of industrial data to improve operational efficiencies. To be successful, this practice requires a balance between advancing […]

Common architecture patterns to securely connect IoT devices to AWS using private networks

Introduction Increasingly, business leaders are adopting Internet of Things (IoT) solutions to drive revenue growth, streamline operations, and reduce costs. Managing security and safety considerations while connecting your assets to the cloud, whether they’re industrial machines or autonomous vehicles, can be challenging. In the Ten security golden rules for Industrial IoT (IIoT) Solutions, AWS recommends establishing secure […]
