Commenting on the award, IoTSF said “IoT security is a global challenge, and the spirit of the Champion award is to celebrate those organisations which demonstrate a commitment to raising the bar on cybersecurity beyond their own commercial interests.
“The 2023 winner has done the long, hard yards over many years. They continue to work with a number of institutional and standards initiatives – including the IoTSF – as well as developing their own award-winning solutions, helping to bring cohesion at an inter-continental level.
“For a small company, they are making a quiet, yet important and influential impact globally. We’d like to recognise those extra efforts and celebrate Device Authority as our worthy winner of this year’s award.”
