Strengthening Connection for Growth – Amy Chu’s Perspective
By Amy Chu, VP Customer Success
In the world of virtual collaboration, organizing an in-person summit for the Device Authority US Team felt truly special. After months of virtual meetings, I saw how important face-to-face connections are. The summit had clear goals: build team spirit, continue to evolve our customer-centric strategy, and get aligned on product development. With shared meals, socializing, and focused discussions, the US Team strengthened bonds and set a clear path for the year ahead. The mix of personal connections and tangible results from our collaboration paved the way for growth and success in the coming year.
A Day of Unity and Inspiration – Darren Cubbage’s Perspective
By Darren Cubbage, Engineering Manager
Under the Device Authority umbrella, the UK team recently came together for a day that was more than just your typical company gathering. It was a day filled with unity, inspiration, and strategic vision. We kicked off with a trip down memory lane, led by Darron Antill, who shared Device Authority’s journey from its beginnings to its growth over the past 7 years. Presentations from Claire Tennant on the company’s marketing plans and James Penney on the technical roadmap followed. Insights from Dave Palmer of 1011, discussions led by Ben Benson on KsaaS, and plans to continue to develop product demonstrations and further improve customer support highlighted our commitment to growth. The post-event social gathering wasn’t just about unwinding; it was an opportunity to strengthen bonds that will drive Device Authority’s success in the year ahead.
As Amy and I reflect on our respective gatherings, we can both agree that the overarching narrative is one of unity, inspiration, and strategic direction that define Device Authority’s triumphs in 2024.

As can be expected there are a number of lists compiled at the end of the year to capture and summarize trends, events and activities. The following updated list from OWASP of IoT vulnerabilities that caught our attention as it very nicely keeps it to a limit of 10 and more importantly, we can help do something about it!
