Innovative IoT solutions demand intelligent security.

With the ever-expanding reach and capabilities of IoT, so is the ever-increasing need for security. Cyber crime is a multi-billion dollar challenge attracting professional, nation-state and opportunistic hackers alike. That’s why Verizon puts security at the heart of IoT.

ThingSpace offers a full suite of security solutions to minimize risk for your machine-to-machine (M2M) devices, including:

Security Credentialing – Protects endpoints with an over-the-top security layer for devices and apps and trusted user authentication
SIM-Secure – Locks SIMs to devices, safeguarding data usage and access to corporate networks

SIM Secure

How it works

Existing customers

New customers

Lock down your connected devices with SIM-Secure.

Attacks on network-connected devices are an emerging threat for businesses. These devices provide new entry points for malicious actors to access the network, making securing these devices more critical than ever.

Enable SIM-Secure and your devices will only connect to the network when paired with its intended SIM card, helping you to:

Easily track and secure IoT sensors and devices, industrial equipment, laptops, tablets, smartphones and more by pairing each SIM card with a specific device
Prevent unauthorized devices from connecting to your private network
Identify and thwart potentially malicious activity before the device connects to the network
Proactively reduce exposure to risk from SIM card misuse as your connected device systems grow

An integrated approach provides layered protection.

1. Protect

Harden assets to help protect data and secure perimeter.

Device management

Control your IoT deployments by moving away from point solutions
Automatically deploy, provision and manage devices without intervention
Establish a secure enclave around your devices

Data security and integrity

Secure your data at the source and in motion
Verify devices are trusted and secure the integrity of your data
Use credentialing to enable data privacy and integrity on any network

Secure trust loop

Establish a trust anchor that reaches the virtual IoT world
Enable secure delivery of firmware and configuration updates
Keep malicious code out of your network and IoT ecosystem

2. Detect

Awareness, discovery and assessment.

Event level

Develop situational awareness by normalizing events for analysis
Prioritize IoT operating ecosystem to enable addressing “first things first”
Provide event notifications when your device integrity is compromised

Connectivity level

Use IoT network scanning for weaknesses and vulnerabilities
Create a trail of forensic evidence to help protect your environment
Manage primary and secondary data paths dynamically

Content level

Address privacy and security compliance requirements
Establish a detailed undertanding of the packet payloads
Gather event-based analysis; actionable tamper evidence

3. Respond

Remediate, validate and recover.

Physical fitness

Coordinate firmware updates to help maintain your security
Reduce your device threat surface by updating to the latest protocols
Lock down or throttle devices when a threat is detected

Policy management

Filter, block and control the way devices are being used
Provide prescriptive orchestration of operational mitigations
Create an audit trail by informing your trouble-ticketing systems

Security culture

Educate people on the dangers of unsecured IoT networks
Identify security champions as part of your IoT deployments
Create and test incident response plans and staff actions
