GCF and IMC Unveil Initiative to Evaluate IoT Security Certification

Published

on

LONDON, Dec. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — IoT M2M Council (IMC), the world’s largest trade association dedicated to the IoT sector and Global Certification Forum (GCF), the global industry organization focused on certification programmes for mobile and IoT devices, are teaming up to create a joint initiative to evaluate a global cybersecurity certification for IoT services.

GCF and IMC have formed a Joint Task Force to determine the feasibility of a holistic approach including devices, networks and IoT cloud/app platforms. This unique approach differs from most certifications for IoT security, which concentrate on certifying security mainly on the device side. Further information will be available at the IMC’s booth and IMC-led panel discussion at Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January.

Some of the leading technology and service providers to the IoT sector – including Aeris, DEKRA, Digi International, Element Material Technologies, Eurofins, filancore, Finite State, Keysight, MultiTech, Quectel, Rohde & Schwarz, SGS, Somos, Tartabit, Telit Cinterion, Thales, and Vodafone – have already agreed to participate in the Joint Task Force, which is open to the participation of additional companies.

“Massive increases in security breaches, coupled with sea-change technologies like AI, make this effort imperative. We see ensuring all three layers of the IoT stack as the only way to truly provide incremental security, and companies that are involved in advancing IoT technology understand that,” says GCF’s CEO Lars Nielsen.

A recent IMC survey shows that a strong plurality (41%) of companies responding see increased IoT security as a competitive advantage to drive revenue. “Another point made clear by our polling is that all sides of the IoT ecosystem are struggling to contend with different standards and regulations from different parts of the world – we hope to help alleviate this issue,” says Sri Ramachandran, IMC Chair and CTO at Somos.

The IMC plans to promote the certification scheme to its membership of 28,000 enterprise users, product makers/designers, and apps developers that deploy IoT solutions. The GCF already certifies more than 600 products every year from nearly 100 vendors, including smartphones, modules, IoT devices and software clients. “An increasing share of all GCF’s certifying activity is related to IoT services,” says Nielsen.

Those interested in participating in the task force can register at https://www.iotm2mcouncil.org/imc-gcf-joint-task-force-on-iot-security/

About IMC: IMC is the largest professional organization dedicated to the global IoT sector. The IMC’s Adopter Membership of 28,000 IoT users covers over 30 vertical markets of application from all around the globe. The IMC Board of Governors is comprised of 30 of the most influential IoT solutions providers, covering hardware, software, and connectivity services.

GCF’s solutions include IoT, 5G NR, LTE, Mission Critical Services and eSIM.

Undeniable synergies accelerate growth while exponentially improving care

STRATFORD, Conn., Jan. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — TapestryHealth is excited to announce a new strategic partnership with Third Eye Health, a move that will enhance the technical capabilities of Third Eye’s clinicians while significantly expanding TapestryHealth’s reach into hundreds of additional post-acute care facilities across the United States.

The partnership will allow Tapestry to offer Third Eye Health’s best-in-class virtual care solution to its customers to provide on demand care on nights and weekends as part of Tapestry’s comprehensive technology and provider solution for creating an integrated 24/7 safety net wrapped around each resident. This will expand the technical capabilities for the clinicians on the Third Eye Health team.

“TapestryHealth has evolved from a technology-enabled telemedicine provider into one of the nation’s leading technology companies serving the post-acute care sector,” said Mordy Eisenberg, Co-Founder and Chief Growth & Product Officer of TapestryHealth. “Given our origins in telemedicine, we were often viewed as competitors to Third Eye Health. However, this partnership makes far more sense. Today, Tapestry offers the most comprehensive suite of healthcare technologies for skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) across the country. By integrating these technologies, we empower Third Eye’s clinicians to transition from being reactive responders to proactive care providers and allow us to offer Third Eye’s proven, vetted telehealth solution to our customers.”

Dan Herbstman, Co-Founder and CEO of Third Eye Health, echoed this sentiment: “The synergies between our two companies are undeniable. Tapestry has a deep understanding of our business and the advanced technology to elevate our service capabilities immediately. With our extensive national network and established presence in the post-acute care space, we are uniquely positioned to accelerate Tapestry’s growth while enhancing the quality of care provided to tens of thousands of elderly residents. This partnership truly exemplifies a win-win scenario.”

The collaboration began in November 2024, with both teams working closely to integrate their respective strengths. In a joint statement, Dr. Zahra Shariff, Chief Medical Officer of Third Eye Health, and Dr. Hans Jenkins, Chief Medical Officer at TapestryHealth, said, “This partnership will positively impact thousands of nursing home residents by offering a higher standard of care and providing hospitals with trusted post-acute facilities capable of delivering advanced 24/7 medical services.”
