India’s channel ecosystem is undergoing a major transformation as emerging technologies redefine how enterprise IT solutions are delivered and consumed. Artificial Intelligence, cloud-native architectures, cybersecurity frameworks, IoT, and advanced data platforms are converging to reshape the role of value-added resellers (VARs), system integrators, and distribution partners in the digital economy. The traditional product resale model is steadily giving way to a services-led, outcome-driven approach. Channel partners are evolving into strategic advisors, solution architects, and managed services providers, focusing on integrated solutions rather than standalone product delivery. This shift is being driven by rising enterprise demand for agility, scalability, security, and measurable outcomes. At the same time, technologies such as GenAI, real-time analytics, and cybersecurity mesh are opening new revenue opportunities and strengthening customer engagement. Enterprises today expect end-to-end solutions that integrate infrastructure, cloud, security, and intelligence into unified ecosystems.

2026 in IoT attacks: the biggest threats so far and what businesses can do Internet of Things devices are more useful than ever – but security is still playing catch-up From industrial robots to fitness trackers, Internet of Things (IoT) devices track real-time data to underpin smart systems and allow for data-driven decision-making. and into continuously monitor, interpret, and respond to changes in their environment. From the most advanced applications, such as autonomous robots on factory floors, to thermostats, security cameras, and even network-connected printers, IoT devices are widespread and hugely beneficial to businesses. But along with their benefits, IoT devices also introduce new risks by expanding an organization’s perimeter and acting as easy entry points for enterprise systems. Once attackers compromise a vulnerable device, they can steadily and stealthily push further into an organization’s systems, bringing down critical infrastructure. Threat actors may also seek to take persistent control of IoT devices to form botnets. An IoT botnet is a network of compromised IoT devices that attackers remotely manipulate to launch large-scale cyber attacks, typically in the form of distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. In October 2025, Microsoft Azure was hit with a record-breaking multi-vector, cloud DDoS attack that peaked at 15.72 Tbps and 3.64 billion packets per second. It targeted a single edge device in Australia and was later linked to the Aisuru IoT botnet, notorious for exploiting compromised home routers and surveillance cameras. Although the threat was neutralized, the attack goes to show the scale at which endpoint devices can be weaponized. The campaigns are often strikingly fast and unprecedented. True to form, the attacks carry on in 2026. Sign up today and you will receive a free copy of our Future Focus 2025 report - the leading guidance on AI, cybersecurity and other IT challenges as

Cybersecurity leaders are using World Password Day to highlight a growing shift away from password-centric security, as AI-driven attacks make it easier to steal credentials across increasingly connected IoT environments. They say that, rather than changing how passwords are broken, AI is dramatically scaling how they are stolen, particularly through more convincing phishing, impersonation, and social engineering campaigns targeting users and connected systems. As commercial and industrial IoT deployments continue to scale, security controls have struggled to keep pace, leaving many organisations exposed across connected environments. World Password Day serves as a timely reminder of these risks, but experts argue the issue is no longer simply about choosing stronger passwords. Instead, it reflects a broader challenge around identity management across sprawling digital and IoT ecosystems. “AI does not fundamentally change how passwords are cracked; it makes stealing them through deception more efficient,” says Adrian Podkaminer, Head of Security at digital entertainment marketplace G2A.COM. “Weak or reused passwords are still one of the primary attack vectors, but the threat landscape is also evolving through AI-enabled phishing and social engineering. Threat actors are increasingly using generative AI to scale credential-harvesting campaigns, create more convincing impersonation attempts, and produce fraudulent communications that are harder to distinguish from legitimate ones. A continuously managed system Chris Newton-Smith, Chief Executive Officer at information security and data privacy specialist IO, says organisations need to move beyond point-in-time thinking about security. “The real challenge isn’t that employees use weak passwords. It’s that organisations treat security as a series of one-off actions rather than a continuously managed system,” he says. “Password hygiene matters. But it’s one signal in a much bigger system. The question worth asking today isn’t ‘how strong is our password policy?’ It’s ‘what are we doing on every other day of the year?’” The problem becomes

Cybersecurity researchers have exposed a new Mirai-derived botnet that self-identifies as xlabs_v1 and targets internet-exposed devices running Android Debug Bridge (ADB) to enlist them in a network capable of carrying out distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. Hunt.io, which detailed the malware, said it made the discovery after identifying an exposed directory on a Netherlands-hosted server at the IP address "176.65.139[.]44" without requiring any authentication. The malware supports "21 flood variants across TCP, UDP, and raw protocols, including RakNet and OpenVPN-shaped UDP, capable of bypassing consumer-grade DDoS protection," Hunt.io said, adding it's offered as a DDoS-for-hire service designed for targeting game servers and Minecraft hosts. What makes xlabs_v1 notable is that it seeks out Android devices running an exposed ADB service on TCP port 5555, meaning any gear that comes with the tool enabled by default, such as Android TV boxes, set-top boxes, smart TVs, could be a potential target. Besides an Android APK ("boot.apk", the malware supports multi-architecture builds covering ARM, MIPS, x86-64, and ARC, indicating it's also designed to target residential routers and internet-of-things (IoT) hardware. The result is a purpose-built botnet engineered to receive an attack command from the operator's panel ("xlabslover[.]lol") and generate a flood of junk traffic on demand, specifically directing the DDoS attack against game servers. "The bot is statically-linked ARMv7, runs on stripped Android firmwares, and is delivered through ADB-shell pastes into /data/local/tmp," Hunt.io explained. "The operator's nine-variant payload list is tuned for Android TV boxes, set-top boxes, smart TVs, and IoT-grade ARM hardware that ships with ADB enabled." There is evidence indicating that the DDoS-for-hire service features bandwidth-tiered pricing. This assessment is based on the presence of a bandwidth-profiling routine that collects victim bandwidth and geolocation. This component opens 8,192 parallel TCP sockets to the geographically nearest Speedtest server, saturates them for 10 seconds,

Cylake is a company founded by industry veterans to build a complete, AI-native, data-driven security platform for highly regulated organizations that require total data sovereignty, operating entirely on-premises or within private clouds. Pulse 2.0 interviewed Cylake founder and CEO Nir Zuk to learn more. Nir Zuk’s Background Could you tell me more about your background? Zuk said: “I started my career when I was a teenager. I developed some of the first computer viruses of the world, and that somehow landed me a job with Israeli intelligence for five years. When I left the service, I joined a tiny Israeli startup, Check Point Software, which created the cyber security market as we know it today, and where I built the first firewall. From there, I founded OneSecure in the U.S. – the first intrusion prevention system (IPS) company, which was later acquired by NetScreen and then Juniper. In 2005, I left Juniper and founded Palo Alto Networks, which today is by far the largest cybersecurity vendor in the world. Last August, after 20 years, I left Palo Alto Networks and started Cylake in early 2026.” Formation Of The Company How did the idea for the company come together? Zuk shared: “The idea for Cylake came out of years of conversations with companies looking to secure their businesses. I was speaking to customers and colleagues in the industry and noticed that a lot of organizations felt left behind by the cybersecurity industry, who, starting with Palo Alto Networks, all moved to be delivered from the cloud. And it turns out that there are quite a few organizations out there that can’t consume cybersecurity services from the cloud, either because they are running in air-gapped environments, so they aren’t even connected to the internet, or because of regulatory reasons.

Siemens: A Vision for Circular, AI-Powered Building Autonomy When I think about the future of infrastructure, I often imagine what it feels like to walk into a building that already understands me: the temperature is tuned to the number of people in the room, the lighting adapts to the task at hand and the building itself is aware of weather patterns and energy demand, making changes before I even notice the need. We are at a moment when ambition is translating into action. According to the Siemens Infrastructure Transition Monitor 2025 report, 54% of respondents indicate that they are ready to implement autonomous building systems and more than half plan to make significant investments in these systems in the year ahead. These figures reflect a clear recognition that buildings must evolve, not only to improve efficiency but to respond to the complex pressures facing owners, operators and occupants alike. From smart to truly autonomous An autonomous building does more than react. It learns, predicts and adapts. It integrates data from weather feeds, occupancy sensors, energy grids and security systems and uses advanced analytics to orchestrate responses. It continuously optimises itself, creating environments that adapt to human needs rather than forcing humans to adapt to the limitations of the building. From predictive maintenance that resolves faults before they impact operations to security systems that detect anomalies in real time, the value of a truly autonomous building lies in intelligence that acts before disruption occurs. This vision becomes even more compelling in mission-critical environments. In a hospital operating theatre, the building maintains precise air pressure, humidity and temperature, knowing that even slight deviations can put lives at risk. In research laboratories, it ensures that sensitive experiments remain protected from environmental fluctuations that could compromise years of work. In both cases, autonomy safeguards

Industrial environments are undergoing a massive transformation driven by the Industrial Internet of Things. Factories, energy plants, and logistics hubs are now powered by connected sensors, edge devices, and intelligent control systems that continuously exchange data in real time. The scale of this transformation is significant. By 2025, the number of industrial IoT devices is expected to reach over 152 million globally, with the market projected to grow from $194.4 billion in 2024 to $286.3 billion by 2029. At the same time, IoT security risks are rising sharply, with over 50 percent of IoT devices having critical vulnerabilities and one in three data breaches now involving IoT components. This rapid expansion of connected infrastructure is reshaping how organizations think about security. Traditional physical security models are no longer sufficient in environments where machines, sensors, and software continuously interact. This is where modern access control systems evolve into intelligent, connected security layers within industrial IoT ecosystems. Understanding the Convergence of Access Control and IIoT Traditional access control systems were designed to regulate physical entry using credentials such as cards, PINs, or biometrics. These systems operated largely in isolation, with limited integration into broader operational technology. Industrial IoT introduces a fundamentally different architecture. It connects machines, sensors, controllers, and software platforms into a unified data-driven system. The convergence happens when access control becomes a node within this ecosystem. Instead of acting as a standalone system, access control integrates with: - Industrial sensors and PLCs - Edge computing devices - SCADA and OT networks - Cloud-based analytics platforms This integration transforms access control into a dynamic decision-making system rather than a static gatekeeper. Architecture of Integrated Security Systems From an engineering perspective, integrating access control with industrial IoT involves a multi-layered architecture.
