“The key message that we wish to convey to our end users is that— the more devices you have in your premises, the more enemies you invite. As we welcome a M2M world, we will have a billion machines talking to each other in a billion languages and what we need is an essential security solution that understands the behaviour of these varied devices and enables the devices to work in a communicative harmony,” adds Nader.
