Sensors monitoring physical parameters such as pressure, voltage, temperature, etc., are an increasingly important part of the evolving smart infrastructure. The sensors themselves, however, are a cybersecurity weak link, easy to infiltrate. IXDen uses artificial intelligence to create a multi-factor “biometric-style” profile for each sensor enabling rapid detection of intrusions, and predictions and recognition of sensor failure.
