IoT Evolution World Week in Review: Symantec, Nokia, GE

By Ken Briodagh June 18, 2016

Hello, friends. This is the IoT Evolution World Week in Review. We’ll get to the news in just a bit, but first a quick reminder about the IoT Evolution Expo in Las Vegas, July 11 to 14. If you want to get in on it as a sponsor or exhibitor, now’s the time, so hook up with Matt Gleeson, our Biz Dev maestro.

And now, the news:

The Internet of Things is staking-up to be the largest and perhaps the most impactful era of accelerated technological advancement in history. You would think that this is a huge opportunity for all those that plan and properly execute and grab their piece of the pie. A closer look found that it is really not that simple.

In China, the China Electric Power Research Institute (CEPRI) and OSIsoft, an operational intelligence specialist company, have announced that they will team up on a smart grid project that will leverage OSIsoft’s PI System as a data infrastructure for real-time data monitoring, analytics and reporting.

Symantec (News - Alert), the global cybersecurity giant, has taken aim at the IoT’s Connected Car market, and the hackers determined to find a breach and initiate a “Zero Day” scenario. The Symantec Anomaly Detection for Automotive (ADA) is a software solution designed to protect IoT-enabled cars against never-before-seen attacks by looking for unauthorized attempts to access and other “anomalies” and blocking them until they can be verified.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) and GE Digital have entered into a strategic agreement to unite HPE’s IoT tech and GE’s Predix platform with the goal of taking the Industrial IoT by the scruff of the neck and shaking it until it gets with the program. Metaphorically, of course. We hope.

This week on the IoT Time Podcast, I sit down with Frank Ploumen, Director, IoT Platform product strategy, Nokia, about the company’s new IoT platform offering, the Intelligent Management Platform for All Connected Things, or IMPACT. I also got some time with Ben Forgan, CEO, and Ben Strahan, head of developer relations, both of Hologram, to talk about partnerships, the IoT industry, and how awesome IoT Time is. These episodes were sponsored by the IoT Evolution Expo. Tweet me @KenBriodagh.
