The company’s co-founder and CEO, Yevgeny Dibrov, stated that the latest funding round will accelerate its growth and enable future acquisitions and technological advances. The company wants to expand its field of activity past IoT and to offer comprehensive protection for all customers’ assets.
Iot Growth Brings on New Challenges
Estimates say that there will be 75 billion IoT devices in the world by 2025, and most of them will be unmanaged. These are devices like smart thermostats, doorbells, fire detectors, motion sensors, medical and industrial machines, etc. They are designed to connect and improve productivity and efficiency.
Most of them have no security, can’t be updated, and the companies have no way to manage them. They pose a significant threat because they are “invisible” to the system, which means they can be manipulated from the outside without alerting internal security.
