Mirko Ross, asvin - Trust and security for the Internet of Things (S2E7)

Mirko Ross is the Chief Executive Officer of asvin, an early German startup developing solutions for a trusted and secure Internet of Things (IoT). A recognized cybersecurity expert, Mirko is a Member of the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) IoT Security Expert Group, and a Co-Chair of the Alliance Internet of Things Innovation (AIOTI) Distributed Ledger Working Group. Our shared believe is that ultimately, the volume of machine-to-machine (M2M) commerce will exceed traditional (human-to-human or human-to-machine) payments, so it is imperative to provide an infrastructure that cannot be compromised.  

asvin.io provides a blockchain-secured update solution for M2M commerce and the IoT, for both the embedded device controller (edge devices) and for server-side device applications in the cloud. Today, unpatched vulnerabilities on IoT devices provide an attach vector for malicious actors and a door opener for vulnerabilities such as DDoS attacks, ransomware, hacking and data theft. Updating unsecure M2M commerce and IoT systems is analogous to applying medicine to sick patients. There is a growing need for continuously healing infected or unsecure devices in the Internet of Things

I had the pleasure to represent asvin at the Financial Innovation Business Conference (FIBC) in 2019, where the company was recognized with the Special Judges' Award. You can view the presentation online: https://fibc.info/2019-asvin/
