Actelis Networks unveils AI-powered cybersecurity for IoT networks
Actelis Networks has announced a partnership with an advanced cybersecurity provider to develop and deliver a novel, AI-Powered SaaS offering, under Actelis’ ‘Cyber Aware Networking’ initiative. This software, designed as an intelligence layer integrated into Actelis’ networking devices, uses the network’s power and proximity to IoT devices to monitor and protect physical assets such as cameras, sensors and other devices at the edge, enabling corrective actions before issues propagate throughout the network.Actelis’ ‘Cyber Aware Networking’ enhances the security, efficiency and operational continuity of IoT networks by providing enterprise-grade AI Asset Intelligence & Threat Management capabilities delivered directly through the network. Actelis will launch this patented AI-powered cybersecurity software into its robust, DoD-certified networking solutions, which will enhance Actelis’ offer of comprehensive, secure and scalable IoT connectivity solutions, particularly for critical infrastructure applications such as local and federal government networks, utility providers, intelligent transportation and airports.
“With tens of thousands of Actelis devices deployed worldwide in critical IoT networks, data security is paramount,” said Tuvia Barlev, the chairman and CEO of Actelis. “By adding an additional layer of protection to our customers’ operational environments, we’re offering a powerful platform that not only detects and reports cyber-attacks and operational faults but also enables immediate, actionable responses by the communication network before these issues escalate. This move extends our focus beyond hardening network security to include the cybersecurity of devices at the most vulnerable points — the edge of the network.”
The increasing volume of cyber-attacks on IoT devices highlights the need for enhanced security measures. According to a study by the Ponemon Institute, 63% of organisations expect the volume of IoT attacks to increase significantly. Actelis’ new solution addresses these challenges by providing comprehensive visibility, monitoring and threat detection capabilities for IoT networks.
Using AI and machine learning at its core, the ‘Cyber Aware Networking’ architecture offers advanced threat detection and mitigation that is easy to deploy, quick to adapt and scalable to large networks. This collaboration aligns with Actelis’ focus on expanding its market presence in the IoT sector and demonstrates the company’s commitment to addressing the evolving cybersecurity needs of its clients through its vision of ‘Cyber Aware Networking’ and increasing its recurring software revenues. As the IoT market continues to grow, the demand for secure and resilient networking solutions becomes increasingly critical. Actelis’ integrated solution is well-positioned to meet this need, providing enhanced protection and reliability for IoT networks.
The global IoT security market is projected to reach US$306 billion by 2032, driven by the increasing adoption of IoT devices and the growing number of cyber-attacks. Actelis is focusing on industries most affected by these threats, such as government, energy and transportation sectors, paving the way for the success of this new offering. IoT edge devices are currently lagging in protection compared to IT networks, creating a significant opportunity for Actelis.
