Data Collection from IoT Devices Through the SD-WAN Layer

FatPipe SD-WAN is smart enough in distinguishing between critical IoT traffic and non-essential data flows. This ensures allocating bandwidth by prioritizing them considering time-sensitive data, enabling optimal performance even in bandwidth-constrained environments. FatPipe SD-WAN ensures seamless IoT sessions in case of primary media failure or impairment irrespective of secondary media type. This enables always-on connectivity for mission-critical IoT networks of which autonomous vehicles is one of the best use cases where FatPipe IOT SD-WAN has been deployed. FatPipe SD-WAN’s detailed network visibility and real-time traffic inspection allows instant recognition and separation of unauthorized or suspicious activities.

IoT Devices Sending Data to the Cloud via SD-WAN

Once gathering data, FatPipe SD-WAN takes care of secure and reliable transmission to cloud platforms. Thanks to the intelligent path selection and dynamic failover, our SD-WAN doesn’t compromise on network connectivity, even during network outages. Our patented MPSec TM allows traffic to seamlessly shift across heterogeneous network links, removing bottlenecks and latency issues. Secure connectivity occurs through encrypted tunnels with minimal overhead. Remote IoT implementations, comprising those in harsh environments, benefit from this seamless and safe data transmission capability.

IoT Dashboard Integration with SD-WAN Dashboard

FatPipe’s all-encompassing approach fits IoT and network management into a unified dashboard experience. Our SD-WAN platform provides real-time visualization of IoT traffic patterns, connectivity health status, and device status. Drilling down is a great functionality which helps in proactive incident detection and response. Our IoT philosophy takes care of IoT application behavior too. For instance, a factory can prioritize machine telemetry data besides minimizing non-critical system updates during peak hours.

Strengthened Security Posture: FatPipe’s IoT philosophy is well-fitted with advanced security protocols

  • Encryption for data in transit and at rest.
  • Device authentication, user authentication, and role-based access control.
  • Usage of secure communication protocols including HTTPS and TLS besides maintaining protocol integrity through mechanisms comprising digital signatures.
  • Network segmentation techniques to isolate IoT networks from critical infrastructure for managing the impact of potential breaches.
  • Real-time monitoring of network traffic and maintaining comprehensive logs.
  • Vulnerability management to identify weaknesses in IoT ecosystem.
  • IDS/IPS to detect malicious activity targeting IoT devices.
  • Secure device placement to prevent unauthorized access.
  • Deep packet inspection for IoT devices to prevent vulnerability to attacks.

Challenges

  • Security Concerns: The glaring problem with several modern organizations is monitoring and securing their connected devices. Sensitive data and critical infrastructure are prone to threats without proper safety measures. Proactive strategies are the need of the hour.
  • Frequent Session Disconnections: One of the ground problems reported is the failure of IoT session when primary link is either down or having performance issues. It is imperative to shift primary IoT session to secondary media without break of session for production grade systems.
  • Complex Integration: Be it fleet management or traffic management or supply chain management or healthcare or retail management, integrating IoT appliances with the existing systems is a major bottleneck. Compatibility issues, data silos, and unavailability of standardization often slow down deployments and limit scalability
  • Increased Operational Costs: IoT can be indeed beneficial but includes hidden costs for device management, data processing infrastructure, and network upgrades. Solutions that are both future-proof and cost-efficient are needed.
