How Secure are Smart Consumer Goods? AIDE Has the Answers
Last May, Which?, the UK’s consumer champion, partnered with NCC Group, a global expert in cyber resilience, and the Global Cyber Alliance to conduct a groundbreaking experiment to analyze the cyber risk exposure of a selected group of smart consumer goods.
Our Internet of Things (IoT) platform, AIDE, played a central role in the experiment, where the flexibility of ProxyPot, its data collection technology, was put to the test.
