Unify Event Shows the CSA Isn’t Just About the Smart Home July 22, 2026 Blog When Matter debuted a few years ago, it was hailed as the answer to one of the IoT industry's biggest headaches, namely interoperability. Getting smart home devices from different vendors to work together had become a frustrating experience for both manufacturers and consumers. Matter changed that conversation, at least in theory. At its inaugural Unify conference in Austin, Texas, the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) made it clear that its vision extends far beyond residential IoT. Yes, Matter continues to evolve. But the more interesting story is how the Alliance is positioning itself at the center of commercial buildings, industrial IoT, energy management, cybersecurity, and even AI. That's an ambitious goal, but it's one that really needs to happen. The interoperability problem can be quite tricky. Making a light bulb communicate with a smart speaker is one thing. Making HVAC systems, access control, lighting, energy storage, occupancy sensors, industrial controllers, and cloud analytics platforms exchange meaningful information is an entirely different challenge. But that’s where the Alliance needs to go. Matter V1.6 focuses on richer device semantics, better visibility into device status, improved interaction across ecosystems, and greater context awareness. Those enhancements may not generate flashy headlines, but they're exactly what system architects need when deployments scale beyond typical consumer devices. For embedded developers, interoperability increasingly means exchanging useful data rather than simply establishing connectivity. Security Can't Stop at the Device For years, embedded designers have concentrated on securing endpoints with hardware roots of trust, secure boot, encrypted storage, and authenticated firmware updates. Those capabilities remain essential, but regulators are beginning to ask, “What about everything that’s connected to the device?” Product Security 1.1 reflects that changing mindset by expanding certification beyond individual products to encompass

The National Cyber Security Agency (NCSA) is preparing the country to deal with emerging attacks involving smart devices, particularly CCTV systems and virtual power plants (VPPs) in the energy sector, while deeming data sovereignty a priority. “We see the risks for digital surveillance by monitoring specific data points, such as what time and where a vehicle was moving in and out, which could determine precisely a target’s location and routine,” AVM Amorn Chomchoey, the NCSA secretary-general, told the Bangkok Post. The agency plans to introduce Internet of Things (IoT) security guidelines in September covering consumer smart home devices to help consumers choose safer devices. The guidelines recommend several crucial security features, such as no-default passwords — devices must not come up with default passwords; users are required to set their own. In addition, the products must support firmware updates to patch future security issues. Devices must have a notification system to alert users when a security vulnerability is detected. This initiative involves collaboration with the Thai Intelligent CCTV Association, AVM Amorn said. There are discussions about making these security requirements mandatory, he said. Regulatory agencies may adopt and enforce these rules, specifically to control the importation of devices and ensure that non-standard, vulnerable products are not brought into the market. However, if the guideline becomes mandatory, there is concern about whether the new standards will be compatible with older measures and if the effect will drastically increase the prices of products, AVM Amorn said. By the end of this month, the NCSA expects to discuss security with power utilities, manufacturers and service providers of VPPs. According to Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand, a VPP is a cutting-edge energy management platform that aggregates multiple small, scattered power sources into a single, large-scale power network without constructing a physical facility.

Compromised user credentials remain the leading cause of ransomware attacks, with cybercriminals increasingly exploiting stolen login information to infiltrate corporate networks. According to recent research conducted by cybersecurity firm Sophos, nearly 79% of ransomware incidents originate from compromised credentials. Attackers typically gain unauthorized access by using stolen employee usernames and passwords to enter enterprise systems through vulnerable firewalls, remote access applications, VPNs, system software, and even Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Once inside a network, threat actors can move laterally, escalate privileges, disable security controls, and deploy ransomware with minimal resistance. This approach has become more effective than relying solely on software vulnerabilities because stolen credentials often allow attackers to appear as legitimate users, making their activities harder to detect. The findings highlight the growing importance of strong password policies, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and continuous monitoring of privileged accounts to reduce the risk of credential-based attacks. Meanwhile, another study, The Black Kite Ransomware Report 2026, reveals that the ransomware ecosystem continues to expand at a rapid pace. The report notes that a new ransomware group is emerging almost every week, demonstrating how cybercriminals are constantly reorganizing and launching fresh operations. In June 2026 alone, researchers identified 146 active ransomware groups, underscoring the increasing complexity of the global cyber threat landscape. Despite this surge in new ransomware operators, the report offers a positive insight. More than 70% of newly formed ransomware groups disappear shortly after emerging. Their short lifespan is attributed to several factors, including successful law enforcement actions, internal conflicts among gang members, failed partnerships, financial disputes, and operational challenges. Many of these groups struggle to establish themselves in the highly competitive cybercrime ecosystem, leading to their quick dissolution. However, while many newcomers fail to survive, well-established ransomware organizations continue to strengthen their operations. Black Kite’s research indicates that these

What Happened To BlackBerry? What They're Making Now Instead Of Phones BlackBerry, once known for its domination in the early eras of the smartphone market, was completely decimated by the flood of iPhones and Android devices that followed suit. Now, the company isn't even in the smartphone game anymore. In fact, it's effectively pulled out of all consumer products entirely, opting to move into cybersecurity and still supplying the real-time operating system, QNX, for various industries. However, getting to this point has been rocky, to say the least. Originally a pager company, BlackBerry found success in the cell phone market with the Pearl 8100. Other models, like the Bold and Curve, would see further adoption, offering free messaging services over wireless networks through BlackBerry Messenger and the eventual inclusion of apps like WhatsApp. Its first touchscreen competitor to the iPhone in 2008 was the BlackBerry Storm, one of the weirdest devices BlackBerry ever made. As such, it was not the best reviewed. In 2010, BlackBerry peaked at 21 million users in the US, but this fell to 9 million by the time 2012 rolled around. It wasn't all doom and gloom, as the company still retained a total of 79 million worldwide, with Indonesia remaining loyal to the brand. In 2014, it even launched a phone in the region, the Z3, which remained exclusive until July 2014, when it launched in India. With this, BlackBerry tried to push back and remain a healthy third competitor, but it couldn't stop the tide. BlackBerry pivoted from phones After the launch of BlackBerry 10, its then-new operating system, and a new line of devices that didn't bring much fortune, like the BlackBerry Playbook, Android and iOS were simply better featured and supported by developers. In April 2011, Apple surpassed BlackBerry for the first

Here’s the uncomfortable truth about most IoT security setups: they were designed around the assumption that the cloud would handle everything. Send the data up, process it centrally, respond. That worked when you had a handful of connected devices. It doesn’t work anymore. Today’s networks have thousands, sometimes millions, of endpoints generating data around the clock. Routing all of it through a central cloud isn’t just slow. It’s a liability. Every transmission is an opportunity for interception, and every second of processing delay is a second a threat goes undetected. That’s the core problem edge computing in IoT solves. Instead of sending raw data on a long trip to a remote server, computation happens at or near the device itself. Faster decisions. Less exposure. More control. For anyone trying to get ahead of IoT security challenges in a serious way, edge computing in IoT has gone from a nice architectural option to something closer to a requirement. Edge computing in IoT means doing the work the analysis, filtering, and decision-making close to where the data comes from, rather than shipping everything off to a centralized server. An edge computing setup in IoT generally operates across three layers. At the bottom are the devices themselves: sensors, actuators, cameras, and embedded controllers. Above that sits the edge layer: local gateways, on-site servers, edge nodes that sit between devices and the cloud. And at the top, the cloud handles long-term storage, deeper analytics, and centralized management. Security is enforced at each layer, not just the top. Edge nodes check device identities before allowing communication. They filter data, apply local policies, and can block suspicious activity before it ever reaches a broader network. A compromised sensor stays a compromised sensor; it doesn’t automatically become a door into the entire system. The simplest way to

By Karen Thomas, MSc, CFA at The Motley Fool Canada As a TSX stock that once soared above $250, Blackberry Ltd. (TSX:BB) has been through it all. The rise, the fall, and the in-between stagnant period of going nowhere. But through it all, there’s one thing that Blackberry has always maintained – technological excellence. Today, Blackberry is a TSX stock that’s gaining traction and momentum in both its business and its stock price. Here’s why this undervalued TSX stock is a great long-term buy. Blackberry: What happened to this TSX stock? First, a brief look at Blackberry’s history. Blackberry was once the undeniable leader in handheld phones. As you know, this is no longer the case, as Smartphones such as the iPhone and Android began to dominate the market in the early 2010’s. By 2016, the “Blackberry” phone was pretty much history. At that time, the company had to do something drastic to survive. It was a touch and go situation until finally, Blackberry opted to change course and embark on a transformation. Its areas of choice were the Internet of Thing (IoT) and cybersecurity industries. Both drew on Blackberry’s expertise and as this undervalued TSX stock strengthened its presence and focus on these areas, this expertise grew. The company’s reputation now proceeds it. As one would expect in such a situation, Blackberry’s stock price fell hard. In fact, it traded below $10 and stayed in this range for many years. The stock is currently trading at approximately $12.40. This is 46% lower than 2022 levels and way below its historic highs. Blackberry and the connected car For years, this undervalued TSX stock has been quietly working to establish itself as the leader in software technology for critical systems in cars, medicine, robotics, and other industrial uses.

*Team’s breakthrough work on securing Internet of Things networks earns top honours at ACSCON-2026 in Bengaluru A team of six Nigerian researchers has been honoured with the Best Paper Award at the International Conference on Advances in Computing Systems, Communication and Networking (ACSCON-2026), held on 29th and 30th May 2026 at Dr. ACS College of Engineering, Bengaluru, India. The award-winning paper, titled “Federated Learning with Differential Privacy for Adversarial Robustness in IoT Cybersecurity: Defending Against Data Poisoning Attacks,” was authored by Babatunde Alexander Abiola, John Olalere Ogunlola, Opeyemi Victor Omolade, Blessing Alice Alao-Olatunji, Adedeji Edward Adesola, and Simon Olufikayo Awodele. Five of the authors; Abiola, Ogunlola, Omolade, Alao-Olatunji and Adesola are researchers at the Research and Doctoral College of the University of Greater Manchester, Bolton, United Kingdom, while Awodele is of the Department of Computer Science, Babcock University, Ilishan-Remo, Ogun State, Nigeria. The collaboration underscores the growing contribution of Nigerian scholars, both at home and in the diaspora, to cutting-edge research in artificial intelligence and cybersecurity. Tackling a Global Security Challenge The research addresses one of the most pressing challenges in modern cybersecurity: how to protect the billions of Internet of Things (IoT) devices from smart home appliances to hospital sensors and industrial equipment from cyberattacks, without compromising the privacy of the data those devices generate. The team’s solution combines two powerful techniques. Federated learning allows many devices to jointly train an artificial intelligence security model without ever sharing their raw data, while differential privacy adds mathematical guarantees that no individual’s information can be extracted from the shared model. The researchers then went a step further, stress-testing their system against sophisticated “data poisoning” attacks a technique in which hackers secretly corrupt the training process to sabotage the security model from within. Their results were striking. Using real-world IoT data, the

Earlier in 2026, Frost & Sullivan honored Singapore Telecommunications (Singtel) with four regional awards, including Southeast Asia IoT Connectivity Service Provider Company of the Year and Singapore Cybersecurity Services Company of the Year, recognizing its role in secure, intelligent, and scalable digital infrastructure. These accolades underline how Singtel’s capabilities in enterprise connectivity, cybersecurity, and network transformation support corporate clients’ efforts to modernize operations and accelerate digital transformation across the region. Next, we examine how this recognition for Singtel’s cybersecurity services shapes its broader investment narrative amid recent short-term share price moves. The future of work is here. Discover the 33 top robotics and automation stocks leading the charge in AI-driven automation and industrial transformation. What Is Singapore Telecommunications' Investment Narrative? To own Singtel, you really have to believe in its transition from a pure telco into a regional digital infrastructure and enterprise services platform, while still valuing its cash returns. The Frost & Sullivan cybersecurity and IoT awards reinforce that story, but they are unlikely to move the dial on near term financial catalysts by themselves, especially given recent, relatively muted share price moves. More immediate drivers remain execution on capital recycling, including any Optus stake sale, the pace of data center expansion around STT GDC, and how buybacks and dividends are funded, particularly given large one off gains in FY2026 and free cash flow coverage of the dividend. The awards do modestly strengthen the case that Singtel’s enterprise positioning could help offset risks around slower forecast earnings and revenue growth. However, one risk around capital returns and cash generation still deserves closer attention.

As detailed in The Hacker News, cybersecurity researchers have uncovered a new Internet-of-Things (IoT) botnet framework named TuxBot v3 Evolution. This framework exhibits characteristics suggesting it was developed with the assistance of a large language model (LLM), though the AI's contributions appear to have had mixed success.Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 reported that while the LLM generated botnet code, it included an unremoved safety disclaimer. Several functions in the analyzed samples failed to operate correctly, indicating potential flaws in the AI-assisted development process. The botnet framework is modular, featuring a C-based bot agent supporting multiple architectures, a Go-based command-and-control (C2) server with a DDoS-for-hire panel, and an exploit virtual machine. The bot agent attempts to brute-force Telnet access using a large set of credentials and exploits over 30 IoT device families. Communication with the C2 server is encrypted, with fallback mechanisms including a SHA512 domain generation algorithm and a peer-to-peer protocol.Tracing its lineage to botnets like Mirai and AISURU, TuxBot v3 Evolution also incorporates code from the MHDDoS Python toolkit. Evidence suggests development began around January 2025. The C2 server uses specific TCP ports for command dispatch, an interactive SSH shell, and programmatic access via a JSON interface. The botnet's initialization sequence includes anti-debugging measures, persistence installation, and launching of various attack modules. The framework's reliance on AI, despite its current flaws, signals a potential acceleration in feature integration for botnet development, enabling single developers to create complex toolsets. TuxBot is believed to be part of the Keksec ecosystem, known for operating multiple parallel IoT botnets.Source: The Hacker News Related Events Get daily email updates SC Media's daily must-read of the most current and pressing daily news You can skip this ad in 5 seconds
