Innovative IoT solutions demand intelligent security.

With the ever-expanding reach and capabilities of IoT, so is the ever-increasing need for security. Cyber crime is a multi-billion dollar challenge attracting professional, nation-state and opportunistic hackers alike. That’s why Verizon puts security at the heart of IoT.

ThingSpace offers a full suite of security solutions to minimize risk for your machine-to-machine (M2M) devices, including:

  • Security Credentialing – Protects endpoints with an over-the-top security layer for devices and apps and trusted user authentication
  • SIM-Secure – Locks SIMs to devices, safeguarding data usage and access to corporate networks

Lock down your connected devices with SIM-Secure.

Attacks on network-connected devices are an emerging threat for businesses. These devices provide new entry points for malicious actors to access the network, making securing these devices more critical than ever.

Enable SIM-Secure and your devices will only connect to the network when paired with its intended SIM card, helping you to:

  • Easily track and secure IoT sensors and devices, industrial equipment, laptops, tablets, smartphones and more by pairing each SIM card with a specific device
  • Prevent unauthorized devices from connecting to your private network
  • Identify and thwart potentially malicious activity before the device connects to the network
  • Proactively reduce exposure to risk from SIM card misuse as your connected device systems grow
