ICSA Labs, an independent division of Verizon, is rolling out a new security testing program to provide assurance testing for Internet of Things (IoT) devices and sensors.
ICSA Labs listed six components as part of the new IoT Security Testing and Certification Program including: alert/logging, cryptography, authentication, communications, physical security, and platform security. The ICSA Labs Product Assurance Report found the majority of security devices fail to perform as intended.
“We expect the Internet of Things to be the next digital wave,” said George Japak, managing director, ICSA Labs. “Given the enormity and complexity of the space, it can be tricky for enterprises to navigate. We know from multiple recent studies that the #1 concern among adopters is security and privacy, and our new IoT Security Testing and Certification Program directly addresses this concern.”

You just read about Verizon. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
XO Communications built Competitive local, metro fiber and enterprise network operator. What became of it?
XO Communications brought Competitive local, metro fiber and enterprise network operator to Telecom. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by Verizon for US$1.8B. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside Verizon today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
You just read about All. A technology from the archive that helped get us here:
Google/Alphabet Project Loon served 2011–2021. What ultimately replaced it?
Google/Alphabet Project Loon solar-powered balloons drifting in the stratosphere (~20 km), steering by rising and falling into different wind layers, relaying LTE from ground stations to phones far below. Its job passed to Unit economics — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
