A wireless sensor network is a group of small electronic devices, called sensors, that communicate with each other without wires. These sensors collect data from their surroundings, such as temperature, humidity, or movement, and send this information to a central system. Wireless sensor networks are often used in places where running cables would be difficult…

Mesh Sensor Networks
Mesh sensor networks are systems where many small sensors are connected together, allowing them to communicate directly with each other as well as with a central hub. Each sensor acts as a node, passing information along to its neighbours, which helps the network cover larger areas and stay connected even if some nodes fail. This…
AI for Network Security
AI for Network Security refers to the use of artificial intelligence techniques to help protect computer networks from unauthorised access, threats, and attacks. AI systems can analyse massive amounts of network data to spot unusual patterns or suspicious activities that may signal a security risk. By automating threat detection and response, AI helps organisations respond…
Edge Security Hardening
Edge security hardening refers to strengthening the security of devices, systems, or applications that operate at the edge of a network, such as routers, gateways, or IoT devices. This process involves adding security measures like firewalls, secure authentication, regular software updates, and limiting network access to reduce vulnerabilities. The main goal is to protect edge…
Secure Time Synchronisation
Secure time synchronisation is the process of ensuring that computer systems and devices keep the same accurate time, while also protecting against tampering or interference. Accurate time is important for coordinating events, logging activities, and maintaining security across networks. Secure methods use cryptography and authentication to make sure that time signals are genuine and have…
Secure Multipath Routing
Secure multipath routing is a method used in computer networks to send data along multiple routes at the same time, rather than relying on a single path. This approach helps protect information from interception and ensures that data can still reach its destination even if one path fails. Extra security measures are included to prevent…
Secure Channel Establishment
Secure channel establishment is the process of creating a private and protected communication link between two parties, so that information can be exchanged without being intercepted or tampered with by others. This usually involves verifying the identity of each party and using encryption to keep messages confidential. Secure channels are important for protecting sensitive data,…
Secure Remote Work Solutions
Secure remote work solutions are tools and practices that help people work safely from locations outside the main office, such as their homes or public spaces. These solutions protect sensitive company information from being accessed or stolen by unauthorised users. They typically include secure connections, data encryption, and methods for verifying user identity to keep…
Data Encryption in Transit
Data encryption in transit is the process of protecting data while it moves between devices or systems, such as from your computer to a website. This is done by converting the data into a coded form that cannot be easily read if intercepted by unauthorised parties. Encryption in transit helps keep sensitive information safe from…
Token Contention Monitoring
Token contention monitoring is the process of tracking and analysing how often multiple users or systems try to access or use the same digital token at the same time. A token can be any digital item or permission that is limited in number, such as a software licence, database lock, or file access right. Monitoring…
