Semtech and WITRAC transform asset tracking for maritime transport utilising LoRaWAN

Camarillo, California, USA. 26 May 2022 – Semtech Corporation, a global supplier of high performance analogue and mixed-signal semiconductors and advanced algorithms, announced that Boluda Corporación Maritima, a global maritime services provider, will leverage an asset tracking solution from WITRAC, a Valencia-based company offering innovative technology solutions that connect and provide visibility to the value chain.

Integrated with Semtech’s LoRa devices and the LoRaWAN standard, WITRAC’s Total Track & Trace Intelligent Platform transports cold chain assets in Boluda’s supply chain, providing citizens of the Canary Islands with the first daily transportation of cargo from the peninsula with over 350 successful voyages.

“Semtech’s LoRa devices offered a cost-effective solution for WITRAC’s Total Track & Trace Intelligent Platform. With ships transporting thousands of containers, installing a satellite modem in each container would make this type of solution economically non-viable,” says Jose Pons Ballester, co-founder and CTO of WITRAC. “Employing a network using LoRaWAN as well as leveraging the LoRa 2.4GHz band allowed us to place a WITRAC device in every single container to share real-time offshore and onshore visibility to thousands of containers an unmatched value for our customers.”

Using a combination of LoRaWAN, Wi-Fi, BLE, and cellular connectivity options in the same hardware device, WITRAC’s Total Track & Trace Intelligent Platform provides real-time visibility and control of offshore operations. In addition to temperature monitoring, the platform’s “Perfect Route System” is able to geolocate a fleet’s vessels, allowing alerts to be set for deviations in fuel consumption, speed, routes, or miles traveled, which also permits shippers to take corrective measures en route.

The success of the platform led Boluda to implement WITRAC’s platform to monitor the location and temperature status of the fresh food and medicine on its seven container vessels traveling 700 miles from the Spanish mainland on the maritime corridor linking the Port of Cadiz to the island ports of Las Palmas and Tenerife.

“Remotely monitoring the location and temperature of assets during an entire cold chain was once viewed as a challenge. Through implementing LoRa devices and LoRaWAN, asset tracking has never been more simple and cost effective,” says Marc Pegulu, vice president of IoT product marketing and strategy for Semtech’s Wireless and Sensing Products Group. “WITRAC’s tracking solution is a valuable example of how LoRa and LoRaWAN networks can transform smart logistics to prevent loss or damage of assets no matter the distance.”

WITRAC co-founder and CTO Jose Pons Ballester will be discussing the benefits of the Boluda “Daily Canarias” solution at the LoRaWAN World Expo taking place July 6-7, 2022, in Paris, France. Register for the conference here.

Fore Scout launches Fore Scout Frontline to help organisations address ransomware and real-time threats

San Jose, California – Fore Scout Technologies , a specialist in automated cybersecurity, announced the launch of a new threat hunting service, Fore Scout Frontline . did. Leverage a team of highly trained cybersecurity analysts to support your cybersecurity team by proactively identifying risks, accelerating incident response, and maturing your security posture. Fore Scouts provide this service free of charge to organisations that lack the internal resources and visibility to protect against cybersecurity attacks such as ransomware and advanced and ongoing threats (APT).

Sean Taylor, vice president of Threat Defense, says, “Cyber ​​security attacks are on the rise. At the same time, cyber security teams are constantly understaffed with manpower and resources, which leads to the worst. Organisations are driven by the scale and speed of attacks and hostile forces. We are under tremendous pressure to deal with the turmoil. Fore Scouts are launching this new service to help organisations gain a complete and comprehensive view of their assets and defend against attacks. increase.”

In many organisations, multiple teams use multiple security tools to identify threats and risks. However, silos of information about IT, IoT, IoMT, and OT assets can limit the insights gained. In general, these diverse assets are often present and interconnected across the digital realm of an organisation, so cybersecurity risks also need to be identified and addressed overall.

Threat hunting risk identification services provided by Fore Scout Frontline analysts overcome personnel resource and asset visualisation challenges, discover threats that can be overlooked in some cases, and identify risks. The Fore Scout Frontline assists organisations in the following ways:

  • Discover, validate and prioritise a wide variety of cyber threats and vulnerabilities in all assets, including IT, IoT, IoMT and OT
  • Context and risk analysis of discoveries
  • Leverage comprehensive insights to develop effective risk control and remediation strategies

The Florida agency, which supports several key departments in Florida, leveraged the Forescout Frontline to understand each instance of 220 Log4j instances in 16 different departments. This popular Java logging framework, Log4j, is vulnerable to zero-day vulnerabilities. In less than a day and a half, the Fore Scout Frontline provided insights into thousands of vulnerable assets, such as Log4j and Windows-based PrintNightmare.

In addition, hundreds of critical CVSS-evaluated vulnerabilities have been discovered affecting infrastructure equipment such as switches and routers. We also found actionable intelligence on important embedded IoT TCP-IP stack-based instances, insecure communications, and other risks, such as NUCLEUS: 13 and RIPPLE 20. By leveraging this free service, we were able to reduce the time it takes to mitigate and repair these security flaws and improve our overall security posture.

“When the Log4J vulnerability was discovered, we knew it was a serious problem, but we couldn’t get a complete picture of the risks within our broader enterprise. (Fore Scout Threat Hunting) Report Was much more thorough than expected and contained detailed information and practical intelligence. Not only for Log4j, but also for other important vulnerabilities, and not in general terms, we. He told me exactly where he was in his environment. ” says Florida State Agency, information security manager.

The Forescout Frontline will operate the vulnerability research and threat intelligence created by Forescout Verde Labs to enhance the cybersecurity environment on the Forescout Continuum platform from various aspects. Provides threat hunting services. Fore Scout Frontline analysts include former public and private sector threat hunters trained in threat detection and incident response.
