Enhanced Security Controls for IBM Watson IoT Platform

Operational security is a top priority when selecting IoT platforms and we're proud to say that Watson IoT Platform regularly proves its mettle in meeting and exceeding the exacting security expectations of IoT innovators. We've blogged before about the robust security standards supported by Watson IoT Platform. These complement the use of open standard secure communications protocols, such as TLS v1.2, that ensure IoT device interactions are authenticated and encrypted. So, with robust operational platform security in place, how can you configure and manage a security environment appropriate for your device, application and user requirements? Watson IoT Platform now offers configuration and management of Roles which enable controls to be defined for Users, Applications and Gateways.
