Intel Capital provided security system developer investments for smart devices

Intel Capital, a division of Intel Corporation, has recently invested in Mocana, a company that develops security hardware for smart devices. It is clear that the investment was provided for a reason. Intel is now developing a relatively new direction, the Internet of Things. This direction concerns the use of the Internet in home devices, and not only in tablets, mobile phones and other devices.

There are already refrigerators with access to the Network, microwaves with built-in OS and access to the Network. Maybe soon we will see other devices with a network interface. For example, the same toothbrush, which accumulates data on how well you brush your teeth, and “dumps” all this information on the corresponding server on the Net. But of course, all this requires increased security measures, so that attackers could not control various devices in your home.

But the company Mocana is just engaged in the development of hardware security systems for the Smart Device. The developers from Mocana have already presented hardware solutions for all sorts of medical devices, industrial devices, home appliances, etc. Experts believe that the total market for smart devices is estimated at almost a trillion dollars (900 billion).

Mocana's customers include General Electric, Cisco, Honeywell, General Dynamics, Freescale Semiconductor, Samsung, LG, Good, Siemens and Intel itself.

Intel representatives said that in the near future, all sorts of "smart" devices will have a significant impact on the life of an ordinary person. And Mocana, together with Intel, will be able to provide reliable solutions in order to make all these devices safe, inaccessible to intruders.
