IoT Incident Response: What To Do When Devices Are Compromised
Most IoT projects spend significant effort on deployment planning. Hardware selection, connectivity testing, dashboards, and analytics receive careful attention. Far fewer teams prepare for what happens when something goes wrong. In practice, IoT incidents are not rare. Devices are physically accessible. Networks are exposed. Software evolves. Credentials leak. Misconfigurations occur.… Read More ⇢

From Embedded Project to Scalable IoT Architecture: A First-Year Student’s Growth Story
In engineering education, many projects begin and end at the prototype stage. A sensor is connected. A microcontroller processes data. A relay switches ON and OFF. The system works, and the assignment is complete. However, occasionally, a student moves beyond functionality and begins to consider architecture, scalability, and long-term deployment.… Read More ⇢

Correcting a Common Misperception: Why Favoriot Serves Both Education and Enterprise IoT
One of the more persistent misconceptions in the IoT community is that certain platforms are designed solely for education, whereas others are intended exclusively for enterprise deployment. This perception often arises not from technical limitations, but from visibility. What people see frequently becomes what they believe. In the case of… Read More ⇢

Favoriot Intelligence: From Data to Decisions
A Structured Framework for Trusted IoT Intelligence Abstract Organisations across industries have invested heavily in Internet of Things systems. Sensors are deployed, data streams flow continuously, and dashboards are widely available. Yet many operational decisions remain reactive, alerts arrive too late, and confidence in data-driven action remains limited. This white… Read More ⇢
