Game-Changing Bluetooth® Smart Solution Enables Whole Home Control from the Smartphone for the First Time

CSR Mesh Allows Bluetooth® Smart to Come of Age for Internet of Things Applications.
Technology pioneer CSR plc today announces the launch of a technically disruptive new Bluetooth® Smart solution designed to place the smartphone at the center of the Internet of Things (IoT). CSR Mesh allows for an almost unlimited number of Bluetooth Smart enabled devices to be simply networked together and controlled directly from a single smartphone, tablet or PC for the first time.
The solution, which is optimized for smart home and IoT applications, combines a configuration and control protocol with CSR’s proven Bluetooth Smart devices, including CSR101x™ and CSR8811™. It will allow consumers to control any Bluetooth Smart enabled device in the home from wherever they are, including lighting, heating, appliances and security systems. Crucially for the consumer experience, solutions based on the protocol don’t require the complex setup, pairing, or use of an access device such as a router.
Anthony Murray, Senior Vice President, Business Group at CSR, says:
“Unlike other home automation connectivity solutions, such as Zigbee or Z-Wave, CSR Mesh ensures direct control from mobile devices anywhere in the home, because it doesn’t have a limited range or require a hub.”
“CSR is committed to driving Internet of Things innovation. We believe this Bluetooth Smart solution will be a real game changer for developers because it means they don’t have to turn to proprietary solutions or add anything else to create products that give consumers what they want – complete home automation they can control from anywhere that ‘just works’.”
The CSR Mesh protocol uses Bluetooth Smart to send messages to other Bluetooth Smart devices in the network which in turn send them onward. Messages can be addressed to individual devices or groups of devices. It is also possible for devices to belong to more than one group. Control is enabled via standard Bluetooth Smart enabled appliances such as light switches, or via the majority of smartphones or tablets available today.
“As well as allowing control from a smartphone, CSR Mesh will give developers the opportunity to build intelligence into the network so devices can communicate directly with one another,” concludes Murray.
“This will truly enable the future of the Internet of Things, meaning a consumer can automate their home so their lights come on when they enter a room, for example. CSR is already supporting a number of customers to launch products based on CSR Mesh and we’re looking forward to seeing how this solution kick starts the smart home market.”
To ensure developers can get products to market quickly, CSR will be releasing a development kit to customers in April. The kit will offer Android and iOS application source code as well as access to binary CSR Mesh libraries.

SAP Develops Innovative Mobility Services for the Connected Car

As part of a co-innovation project, SAP AG and BMW Group Research and Technology have developed an innovative technology infrastructure for in-vehicle mobility services.
The research prototype is based on the SAP HANA® Cloud Platform and will provide personalized services to drivers based on their location and route. This collaboration brings SAP one step closer toward making its vision of the connected car a reality. The announcement was made at Mobile World Congress 2014.
The cloud-based platform from SAP serves as a link between BMW and external partners that provide services such as parking, fuel, beverages and food. Information from the various partners is aggregated in a virtual marketplace that, in the future, could allow BMW to give passengers and drivers contextualized and personalized offerings via the in-car dashboard or mobile device. The SAP back end enables service providers to combine services and create new offerings tailored to particular drivers and passengers’ preferences.
Together with BMW Group Research and Technology, SAP has developed a prototype for parking and retail “couponing” use cases. Based on the driver’s profile and vehicle location, the system provides an appropriate space close to the driver’s destination. Related information such as fees and suitability for particular vehicles are also displayed. Once the parking space has been selected by the driver, the location is transmitted to the navigation system for routing guidance.
In the “couponing” use case, the driver receives information on deals based on his or her current location, selected route and individual preferences. Detailed information on each deal is also available. To help avoid distractions while driving, the driver can control the frequency in which the deals are displayed. Deals can be bookmarked and, as in the parking use case, the store location can be transmitted directly to the navigation system for routing guidance. The selected coupon is sent to the driver’s smartphone and can be redeemed immediately at the point of purchase.
SAP’s vision is to consistently enrich the driver’s experience and provide the convenience consumers expect from a connected and social world — in or out of the vehicle. The SAP HANA Cloud Platform is helping companies across industries accelerate their product delivery and establish new business models and revenue streams. With  a standardized platform, automotive manufacturers will have access to a network of service providers, enabling them to develop once and leverage SAP network of service providers with little additional work. The project is part of a joint research initiative of SAP and BMW Group Research and Technology.

As M2M Use Skyrockets to Support Internet of Things, Global Study Finds Security Not Keeping Pace

IT Admins Disagree on Level of Security, Priorities and Responsibility for Remediation.
Every day, countless invisible machine-to-machine (M2M) transactions and processes power automation of critical business and operational processes across industries. However, even as automated processes become the dominant mode of computing – outstripping the traditional model of interactive human-to-computer transactions – M2M security is often overlooked or misunderstood.
These findings are the results of a commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of SSH Communications Security, known the world over as the inventor of the ubiquitous secure shell and SFTP protocols. The study surveyed 151 US enterprise IT decision-makers responsible for IT security in financial services, the federal government, retail, manufacturing, utilities/energy/waste management, business services, and high-tech (hosting and cloud services providers) industries.
The study found that the rise of machine-to-machine (M2M) connections within data centers across industries has far outstripped the awareness of organizations about how best to secure them, resulting in a misalignment of security and compliance priorities that is placing organizations at risk.
KEY FINDINGS:
Organizations expect to increase their volume of M2M transactions.

M2M processes are used by virtually all organizations, and sixty-two percent of organizations expect to increase their use of M2M processes over the next 12 months.
More than half of the financial institutions surveyed currently use M2M connections for billing.
Fifty percent of respondents currently use M2M for logistics management and customer service.

M2M security is not seen as a high priority despite its role in data security

Despite wide usage of M2M transactions and processes to power critical business functions, organizations are not paying adequate attention to M2M security.
Few organizations appear to make the connection of robust M2M security as an important component of data security strategy – a top priority for many firms.
Sixty-eight percent of respondents said data security was a critical priority, while only 25 percent said the same about M2M security.

Secure Shell Used Widely to Secure M2M Processes, but Management is Lacking

Organizations depend on Secure Shell for a number of uses, but are challenged to adequately manage Secure Shell keys in the network, leaving keys open to theft.
Financial institutions and hosting/cloud providers are the most likely to use Secure Shell to secure M2M communications.
Financial institutions are the least likely to say they have no Secure Shell access control issues (29 percent) while government institutions are most likely to say that their Secure Shell situation is fine (65 percent).
Tellingly, 65 percent of respondents said they centralize Secure Shell key management, while an equal 65 percent admitted that responsibility for Secure Shell management is shared among individuals.

SUPPORTING QUOTE:
Tatu Ylonen, CEO of SSH Communications Security and inventor of the SSH protocol, said: 
“As organizations across all sectors embrace the concept of the Internet of Things, enabling more objects and sensors to communicate to support new business models, the need to secure automated M2M connections is increasingly critical. However, misunderstandings regarding how best to secure M2M transactions – and whose responsibility it is to do so – have placed organizations under significant risk of data breach.”
“We commissioned this study to discover how financial institutions, enterprises and government agencies perceive their M2M security needs. We discovered that they must take bold steps to evaluate the scope and strength of their M2M security strategies if they are to prevent data theft and comply with industry standards.”
“The Rise of IT Automation and the New Security Imperatives: Growth in M2M Processes Requires a Fresh Approach to Security,” published Feb. 14, 2014 by Forrester Consulting.
