Connecting industrial equipment to the cloud is challenging: Many popular industrial protocols were not designed with security in mind so appropriate additional protection measures are essential, and the wide variety of existing industrial equipment means having to accommodate and adapt to a large array of legacy protocols, equipment specifics, and data formats. As a result, […]

We often hear from customers how they feel the Electric Imp Platform does a fantastic job of isolating their development and deployment teams from the complexities of securely connecting with the IoT. And increasingly, industry surveys point to similar needs as software development complexity remains one of the top reasons for embedded and IoT project […]

We are happy to announce the release of a new core Electric Imp library: MessageManager, a framework for easy-to-use, reliable, asynchronous and bi-directional communication between devices and their cloud-hosted agents. MessageManager leverages the Electric Imp Platform’s existing support for secure, scalable and robust device-to-agent communications. The new library allows developers to rapidly build application-optimized communications […]

A major value of the Electric Imp Platform is our open, extensible and vibrant software and pre-built application integrations ecosystem. This ecosystem enables developers and customers to re-use code and expertise, easily assemble proven components and rapidly — yet securely — build IoT applications to accelerate time-to-market. According to our customers, this has helped them […]

What is your first line of defense against cyberattacks? Secure endpoints. Endpoints are everywhere in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) landscape. Without full system-wide security, IIoT systems are not trustworthy, putting organizations, their missions and the greater public at increased risk. The viability of the IIoT depends on the proper implementation of security at […]

When it comes to connectivity in industrial and commercial environments, we agree with analysts (like Gartner) that see lack of skill, limited engineering availability and difficulty managing ever-evolving security requirements as the biggest hurdles to overcome when looking at IoT. To address these issues, most of the product developers we’ve talked with over the years […]
