Any organization that needs commercial vehicles to function engages in some form of fleet operations and fleet management. Overall, the purpose is to oversee all fleet performance and fleet maintenance in order to increase productivity and help ensure business continuity. Fleet management software, for instance, can help fleet managers gain real-time visibility into daily operations while increasing efficiency, safety and quality of operations with internet-connected sensors and software, as well as comply with industry standards.
IoT devices, however, are vulnerable to cyberattacks, and widespread attacks have resulted in customers and regulators requiring IoT device manufacturers to manage the security of their devices. However, this is a big challenge as the number of devices that are managed in fleets and arrays ranges from tens of thousands to millions of units. This can also introduce significant white noise of alerts, potentially masking actual threats and attacks.
