'When it comes to #cybersecurity, there is an old adage that still applies today – you are only as strong as your weakest link. If an attacker can gain access to a utilities network, it is not just sensitive data at risk; they can carry out large-scale attacks that can compromise critical infrastructure and cause significant damage.' In his latest feature with IoT Insider, Wi-SUN CEO and President Phil Beecher details the threat landscape facing the #utilities sector, and the measures businesses should consider to establish a strong line of defence: https://lnkd.in/e3hhz3bH

The value of the Wi-SUN specifications and technology has been demonstrated through Silicon Labs’ recent ‘Wi-SUN Challenge’!   The competition brought together innovators, start-ups, and academic institutions to create innovative IoT solutions for the #smartcities, #utilities and #healthcare sectors.   With over 260 submissions and 10 finalist teams, the challenge highlighted transformative prototypes – using Wi-SUN FAN RF mesh technology – to address real-world issues.   Read the full article on TimesTech Buzz to learn more: https://lnkd.in/ggxjcgut

Next month, Wi-SUN Alliance and a number of our member companies will be highlighting the importance of interoperable and cybersecure #IoT applications at Enlit Asia and Enlit Europe.   Both events will bring together industry-leading experts to explore innovative solutions, services and products related to the energy sector’s transition to low-carbon energy supplies.   Find us during #ElistAsia2024 at Booth #AG16 and #ElistEurope2024 at Booth #6F44 to discover how our wireless communication solutions and certification programmes - based on open standards - are accelerating the implementation of IoT applications into smart utilities.   It’s time to unlock a sustainable future for the smart utilities sector!   Register for both events here: https://lnkd.in/eFw-97BA 

'When connecting #IoT devices into a satellite network, one-to-one connectivity is not really economical.’ At #SSGS, President and CEO Phil Beecher spoke to Brian Dolby regarding Wi-SUN Alliance’s role in the satellite sector, and how the use of #wirelessmesh for last mile connectivity can enable multiple IoT devices to be connected onto a network through just a single data concentrator.

Wi-Sun President Phil Beecher will be discussing innovative solutions for enterprise, utility and government applications at #SSGS - an exciting new event focusing on strategies for the satellite ground segment.   On Thursday 5th September, Phil will cover key elements required for innovation in this field, including the Wi-SUN FAN Mesh and the importance of effective cybersecurity.   His panel begins at 12:15 GMT. Tickets are still available here: https://lnkd.in/efi3Zqpb

A multi-layered approach is key to protecting every level of the utility network, from the customer grid edge to the Field Area Network (FAN), the substation, all the way to the data centre.   Our President Phil Beecher spoke to Enterprise Times about the critical need for investment in cybersecurity across utility networks.   Find out more about how organisations in the utilities sector can take a combination of measures to prevent, detect and correct here: https://lnkd.in/eGtRDmdC
