Introduction Streamlining the development of Internet of Things (IoT) applications can help your company stand out. It can also spur new innovations, such as connecting and leveraging data from countless devices to empower data-driven choices, optimized operations, and creative new offerings in today’s fast-changing world. As IoT adoption grows, one of the challenges that developers […]

Although mostly invisible, embedded systems are ubiquitous in our everyday lives, powering applications, such as smart home automation or industrial control systems. At the upcoming Embedded World 2024 trade fair, Amazon Web Services (AWS) will showcase its latest innovations and solutions in the field of Internet of Things (IoT), tailored towards the embedded industry. Join us […]

Introduction The National Fire Protection Association records over one million fires each year. These fires rank as one of the top threats to urban safety in the United States. Currently, fire departments largely rely on traditional fire detection systems composed of in-home smoke detectors, fire call boxes, and public notification (calls) to receive their alerts. […]

With the growing adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) applications in regulated industries, such as healthcare, hardening IoT security devices has become a requirement. In addition to ensuring that backend systems are resilient, organizations increasingly invest effort to secure devices outside the traditional enterprise perimeter with zero trust principles. For example, fleet operators for connected […]

AWS IoT Device Management’s location indexing and geoquery feature allows you to search for devices based on their last reported location. You can list devices that are located within a specific geographic area, perform a proximity search relative to a reference location, implement targeted over-the-air (OTA) updates, derive location-specific device performance insights, and identify devices that are no longer in a desired geographic boundary. In this blog, you will learn how to get started with indexing location data and using geoqueries to support your day-to-day IoT fleet management operations.

Introduction Today, AWS IoT Core announces the general availability of self-managed client certificate signing for AWS IoT Core fleet provisioning. The new self-managed certificate signing capability allows you to integrate with an external certificate authority (CA), your own public key infrastructure (PKI), or popular CA services such as AWS Private CA, to sign certificate signing […]

Introduction If you operate secure private networks—such as an assembly line’s operational technology (OT) network at a factory or government agency­—and intend to connect your devices to AWS, then you need to use X.509 client certificates for authenticating requests to AWS services—all while staying within the Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). In this post, we will demonstrate how […]

Introduction Critical infrastructure customers are challenged to make industrial networks more accessible without significantly increasing cybersecurity risks. This is due in part to the common practice of using Industrial IoT (IIoT) and cloud technologies to analyze large volumes of industrial data to improve operational efficiencies. To be successful, this practice requires a balance between advancing […]

Introduction Increasingly, business leaders are adopting Internet of Things (IoT) solutions to drive revenue growth, streamline operations, and reduce costs. Managing security and safety considerations while connecting your assets to the cloud, whether they’re industrial machines or autonomous vehicles, can be challenging. In the Ten security golden rules for Industrial IoT (IIoT) Solutions, AWS recommends establishing secure […]

Introduction Honeybees live in swarms of tens of thousands, gathering nectar. In this process, they carry pollen from one flowering plant to another, pollinating them. ” Close to 75 percent of the world’s crops producing fruits and seeds for human use depend, at least in part, on pollinators[1]. ” As well as being one of nature’s key pollinators, bees transform […]
