New York, Mar. 3, 2021: A new partnership between full-services IoT platform Pepper IoT and software solutions company Firedome will bring “the most comprehensive cybersecurity, video, and data protection capabilities” to everyday consumer devices that are rapidly occupying our homes.
Currently, consumers installing connected devices are at heightened risk of hacker and bad actor access to their home networks. These networks serve as the hub of family digital activity including on-line banking, email, and other types of communications, as well as connecting computers, laptops, and cellphones. Accessing these networks through cheap IoT devices is a clever and largely undetectable method for hackers, and even Nation States, to access our most sensitive information.
The Pepper-Firedome partnership will set the standard for how responsible IoT solutions should be executed, claimed the two companies in a press release. The combination of Firedome’s device agent and Pepper’s secure and US-based Cloud platform and user interfaces will give distributors and brands of IoT solutions comfort knowing their customers have the highest level of privacy and cybersecurity protection in the market today. This approach provides end-to-end monitored cybersecurity protection, fully encrypted data and video, and the ability to protect and remediate the increasingly common attempts to access home networks through IoT devices.
