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 […]
How to get started with the new shared subscriptions in AWS IoT Core
Introduction The new shared subscriptions feature in AWS IoT Core brings the load balancing capability to multiple subscribing MQTT sessions or consumers. While non-shared subscription sends all the published messages to all its subscribers, shared subscription sends a published message to only one of its subscribers in a random manner. In this blog post, we’ll […]
Route messages across multiple accounts with AWS IoT Core and Amazon SQS
Introduction In this blog, we explain how to route AWS IoT Core messages from one or more ingestion accounts to Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) in a data account. It is a common pattern to have IoT telemetry ingested into one account and then require it to be shipped to another account for further […]
Schedule remote operations using AWS IoT Device Management Jobs
Introduction Once Internet of Things (IoT) devices are deployed in the field, on-site intervention can be challenging, expensive, and may not be feasible due to technical and logistical constraints. The ability to perform remote updates on your IoT device software is an important factor that improves your IoT application’s lifespan and operational resilience, provisions the […]
Tracking Assets using AWS IoT Core and Amazon Location Service
In this post, we explore the recently launched “location action” feature that connects AWS IoT Core with Amazon Location Service trackers, creating a scalable, simple, and cost effective way to track and store IoT device location updates. Tracking resources and real-world assets is a critical part of any logistics and operations workflow. Companies need a […]
Enhancing IoT device security using Hardware Security Modules and AWS IoT Device SDK
Introduction Security of operations and security of data are among the top priorities of customers dealing with sensitive information or operating in highly regulated markets. Internet of Things (IoT) customers have the additional challenge of enabling high security standards for IoT communications to their cloud platforms. Data encryption with asymmetric algorithms and cryptographic keys are […]
