In collaboration, Aeris and Bridge Alliance forge a partnership to deliver the initial global cellular IoT security solution for enterprises in the APAC region.
The Aeris IoT Watchtower, a groundbreaking security solution, has been launched in the Asia-Pacific region in partnership with Bridge Alliance. This agentless and frictionless platform provides enterprises with full visibility into IoT device risks and real-time threat prevention and mitigation across their cellular IoT deployments.
Comprehensive, End-to-End Visibility and Control
The Aeris IoT Watchtower addresses the rising cybersecurity threats targeting IoT devices by offering comprehensive, end-to-end visibility and control, a feature that traditional connectivity solutions lack [1]. This feature enables regular risk assessments and device insights, helping enterprises meet operational and regulatory requirements prevalent in the region.
Easy Adoption without Disrupting Existing Infrastructure
The Watchtower operates without the need for special SIM cards, additional device software installations, or complex network traffic routing, making it easy to adopt without disrupting existing infrastructure [2].
Proactive Security Management
The solution delivers in-depth reports on device activity to detect illegal or suspicious traffic patterns, thus enabling proactive security management [1][3]. It supports a zero-trust security approach and automates threat detection and remediation to increase security operations efficiency.
Addressing the Growing Cellular IoT Market
Given the Asia-Pacific region's rapidly growing cellular IoT market—expected to nearly double the 170 million currently connected devices by 2030 excluding China—this solution is critical in helping enterprises reduce vulnerabilities posed by cyberattacks specifically targeting IoT endpoints [1].
A Milestone in Enhancing Security for the IoT Platform
Ong Geok Chwee, the CEO of Bridge Alliance, has stated that the commercial launch of Aeris IoT Watchtower in Asia-Pacific is a milestone in enhancing security for the IoT platform [4].
A Response to Escalating Cyber Threats
In summary, the Aeris IoT Watchtower, by leveraging an agentless, automated, and highly visible security framework, enhances the security posture of cellular IoT deployments across Asia-Pacific, responding to escalating cyber threats in the region’s expanding IoT ecosystem [1][2][3].
