Introduction In a world increasingly driven by Internet of Things (IoT) devices and real-time video streaming, privacy and security has become more critical than ever. Whether used in smart homes, industrial automation, or healthcare, Amazon Kinesis Video Streams offers a fully managed, scalable, and secure platform for streaming live video from devices to the AWS […]

In the rapidly evolving landscape of the Internet of Things (IoT), security is paramount. One critical example that underscores this challenge is the prevalence of insecure network devices with open SSH ports, a top security threat as per the non-profit foundation Open Worldwide Application Security Project (OWASP). Such vulnerabilities can allow unauthorized control over IoT […]

The automotive industry is undergoing a remarkable transformation. Driven by software innovation, the concept of a car has transcended its traditional role as a mode of transportation. Vehicles are evolving into intelligent machines with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), sophisticated infotainment, and connectivity features. To power these advanced capabilities, car companies need to manage data […]

Introduction Industrial and manufacturing customers increasingly rely on AWS IoT SiteWise to collect, store, organize, and monitor data from industrial equipment at scale. AWS IoT SiteWise provides an industrial data foundation for remote equipment monitoring, performance tracking, detecting abnormal equipment behavior, and support for advanced analytics use cases. Building such as a data foundation typically involves modeling […]

Introduction Water meters are present at almost every location that consumes water, such as residential houses or large-scale production plants. Avoiding water loss is increasingly important as water shortages are more frequent across all continents. Due to an aging infrastructure, 30% of water flowing through pipes is lost to leaks (AWS announces 6 new projects […]

Introduction As the automotive industry races towards a future of connected and autonomous vehicles, cybersecurity has emerged as a critical concern. With vehicles becoming increasingly reliant on software, sensors, and connectivity, they also become potential targets for cyberattacks. Recognizing this challenge, the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) has introduced the World Forum for […]

Introduction Smart buildings and factories have hundreds or thousands of sensors continuously collecting operational data and system health information. These buildings increase efficiency and lower operating costs because the monitoring and data collected allow operations to shift from an “unplanned failures” to predictive maintenance approach. Operations managers and technicians in industrial environments (such as manufacturing […]

After careful consideration, we have made the decision to close new customer access to AWS IoT Analytics, effective July 25, 2024. AWS IoT Analytics existing customers can continue to use the service as normal. AWS continues to invest in security, availability, and performance improvements for AWS IoT Analytics, but we do not plan to introduce […]

Introduction Generative AI-powered chatbots are driving productivity gains across industries by providing instant access to information from diverse data sources, accelerating decision-making, and reducing response times. In fast-paced industrial environments, process engineers, reliability experts, and maintenance personnel require quick access to accurate, real-time operational data to make informed decisions and maintain optimal performance. However, querying […]

“Zero Trust” is an often-misunderstood term, it is not a product but a security model and associated set of architectural principles and patterns. One of the main challenges customers face is determining how Zero Trust principles can be applied to IoT and how to get started with incorporating Zero Trust principles using AWS IoT. In […]
