IoT security for enterprises: make it work, make it easy
Please sign in or register for a free public account to access this report.
Understanding of IoT security among enterprises is on the rise. A higher proportion of enterprises rate security as a key purchasing factor in 2020 compared to 2018. This increase in understanding also occurs at a time when enterprises are aiming to adopt a security-first approach as their USP. However, they are only at the start of this journey. When choosing vendors, they rely on who and what they know, and are not fully aware of the trade-offs needed to make an IoT solution secure.
Together with Pelion, we examine enterprise attitudes to IoT security, as uncovered by the GSMA Intelligence Enterprise in Focus Survey. We focus on what enterprises currently perceive as important security features in IoT solutions, who they trust to deliver such features, and how eSIM is able to address IoT security challenges.

IoT and eSIM for digital industries: navigating enterprise needs, investments and supplier decisions
Digital transformation of vertical sectors is accelerating, with IoT being an important driver and enabler. GSMA Intelligence surveyed nearly 4,200 enterprises across 21 countries and 10 vertical sectors to gain relevant insights into their digital transformation across a range of technologies. This report analyses the key findings and implications for IoT and eSIM.
Towards a digital nation: addressing the scam economy in Asia Pacific
The rapid expansion of digital technologies, and mobile connectivity in particular, has profoundly impacted scam techniques and their reach. All individuals with a mobile subscription – approximately 5.8 billion people – are potential targets for scams. Rises in the volume, frequency, sophistication and success rate of scams in recent years are having a significant financial impact on victims and the global economy.
How IoT adopters should navigate IoT network coverage and connectivity options
Successful IoT deployment requires careful network selection, hardware planning, and ongoing connectivity management. Businesses must assess network coverage, roaming fees and SIM options while fostering strong relationships with IoT MVNOs or operators. Contingency plans are crucial, and so is access to reliable and regularly updated market intelligence as for IoT networks operation, network shutdown plans and hardware availability. This piece explores key factors shaping the availability of cellular IoT services and helps IoT adopters (both end-user industries and IoT device makers) to navigate the various options and make sense of latest market developments, such as AT&T’s NB-IoT exit and U-blox’s discontinuation of its cellular modules business.
