Innovative IoT Security for Telecommunications Providers
A Founding Team with National Security Expertise qomodo’s leadership team brings a wealth of experience from the fields of national security and defence. CEO Toby, CTO Kane, and CSO Adam met while working on cybersecurity initiatives for NATO and BAE Systems. Their work in these high-stakes environments gave them a unique perspective on the vulnerabilities within IoT systems and the potential for catastrophic disruption if these networks are left unsecured. This experience drove the creation of qomodo, and today we have an international team based in Leeds, UK, with partnerships across the telecommunications, utilities, and transportation sectors. Our mission is to provide cutting-edge IoT security solutions that are not only scalable but also flexible enough to meet the challenges of various industries. Future-Proofing Connectivity with qomodo As the telecom industry continues to integrate IoT into critical infrastructure, from energy grids to transportation systems, the security of these networks is becoming a top priority. With our innovative approach, we are helping telcos build a secure foundation for the future of connectivity. By combining lightweight, embedded agents with advanced machine learning and threat intelligence, qomodo ensures that telecom networks can scale without compromising on security.
At the heart of our approach is a suite of lightweight, agnostic agents, with our smallest agent being just 100KB in size. These agents embed directly onto IoT devices and continuously feed data into qomodo’s machine learning model, which analyses the information alongside threat intelligence and data from an emulated IoT honeypot network. Our honeypot network has been hacked thousands of times, allowing us to gather critical insights into the latest attack methods targeting IoT systems. Our platform then provides real-time vulnerability detection, enabling telecom operators to protect the millions of devices that underpin modern smart infrastructure. The scale and complexity of telco IoT networks often make them vulnerable to attack, but qomodo’s solution can seamlessly integrate with any system, whether the client is an IoT manufacturer, system integrator, or even a semiconductor manufacturer. Beyond securing networks, qomodo helps its partners drive revenue through market differentiation. By offering advanced IoT security, telcos can stand out in a highly competitive market, ensuring that their customers’ networks remain protected while also enhancing their own service offerings.
