Webinar Overview

Survey after survey puts IoT security as a primary concern for enterprises. As IoT proliferation grows, vulnerabilities, and attacks are also growing.

As the defacto protocol for IoT, the MQTT standard has been consistently evolving between version 3.1.1 and version 5, it has a large repertoire of security features which, if implemented well, can thwart many kinds of attacks including denial of service and man in the middle attacks.

Technical architects and IoT developers know that a solid security architecture for IoT will require encryption, authentication and authorization to run at scale. It is not an easy feat.

This webinar discusses the key security features of the MQTT protocol and how those are further enhanced with the HiveMQ Enterprise Security Extension.
