Global IoT and M2M connectivity provider, ZARIOT, announced that Jimmy Jones has joined the team as Head of Security, bringing with him a wealth of experience in both cybersecurity and telecommunications to help further expand the ZARIOT IoT security solution and build partnerships necessary to offer comprehensive IoT security for enterprise.
“For IoT to be truly effective, both security and connectivity are absolutely necessary and truly interdependent,” Jones commented.” Success in digital transformation (especially where mission and business critical devices are concerned) requires not only optimal connectivity and maximal uptime, but also a secure channel and protection against all manner of cybersecurity threats. I’m excited to be part of the team bringing these two crucial pillars of IoT to enterprise. I hope we can demonstrate that security is an opportunity for business – not a burden.”
Jones recognises there is an urgent need for improved security in IoT and believes that connectivity providers have a responsibility to become part of the solution. The real cost of a security breach, or loss of service to a critical device could be disastrous for a business of any size, yet is a cost seldom accurately calculated or forecasted by most enterprises at any stage of IoT deployment. A secure connectivity solution addresses both.
