Cisco Systems is making a play for the fundamental process of putting IoT devices online, promising greater ease of use and security as enterprises prepare to deploy potentially millions of connected objects. The company will launch a program to certify IoT devices as compatible with its network-based software. The software should be able to automatically authorize these devices on a white-list basis, allowing only endpoints that are safe instead of trying to find and block those that are not. The initiative was announced at the Cisco Partner Summit in San Francisco on Tuesday.”]
