AICS 2022 - Bahrain

After receiving an unexpected invite from the Bahraini Government to attend this prestigious event, we at Awen were honoured to accept, and we attended alongside other notable cyber security companies within the UK community in collaboration with the UK Department of International Trade. 

5G the Enabler and the BYOND Mobile Event

There is no doubt that 5G is a good step forward in wireless communication. It's faster, provides greater redundancy and is (as a technology) relatively well thought through in terms of cyber security of 5G infrastructure. There are also added benefits with the application of private 5G networks.

The increase in speed that 5G provides means that sensors are able to relay data back to a base at much closer to real time, and control and automation can happen with greater reactivity to input.

Applications of 5G are vast, but some of the most exciting applications are in healthcare, smart cities, manufacturing and critical national infrastructure.

Awen's Adventures in Miniature Wonderland

One of many recent additions to Awen Collective's asset discovery tool, Dot, is the ability to parse and analyse network traffic of the Z21 protocol. Chances are you know a thing or two about model trains if "Z21" sounds familiar. Indeed, Z21 is a German organisation that maintains proprietary technologies to monitor and control miniature locomotives.
