The top 3 episodes of our IoT podcast

Like it says on the tin, this episode is a handy intro to IoT if you’re just starting your first IoT project, or a great refresher if you’re a seasoned veteran.

Tune in and join Bernie McPhillips and Rich Crossingham if you want to know:

– What IoT is
– How it works
– Why we need it

IoT has never been bigger. Worldwide investment in IoT grew by 24% in this year, and OfCom’s latest report shows the UK is on track for 33% more mobile data usage than last year, having used a whopping 1,402 petabytes in Q2 alone.

But a 2021 study by Verizon showed that 45% of businesses were rushing (or even ignoring) security measures with their mobile devices, in order to get the job done.

So Dan Cunliffe and Rich Crossingham joined forces to give their top IoT security tips, covering:

– Stories of the biggest IoT security disasters that could have been easily prevented
– Why it’s way easier to secure your IoT devices than you think
– 5 quick, simple things you can do to protect your IoT devices right now

The climate crisis is pushing businesses to meet sustainability targets and go green while staying profitable. And in the words of the GSMA: to decarbonise, we must digitise.

Dan Cunliffe and Tash Terlecki dive into IoT’s role in the cause, talking about:

– Why data is at the centre of sustainability tech
– What solutions are helping the cause right now: from smart farming to IoT bikes
– How a single IoT solution can cut seven billion tonnes or 23% of carbon emissions worldwide
