Cellular IoT Security: Why Visibility is the Missing Link 

66% say compliance is a top driver for IoT security investment and 44% call visibility their biggest challenge.

 

Compliance is accelerating IoT security programs, yet most teams still struggle to see what their devices are actually doing. Kaleido’s latest survey shows 66% of IoT security pros cite compliance as the primary driver and 44% say visibility into connected assets is their greatest challenge.

 

The report explains how network-level visibility, continuous monitoring, and policy enforcement close the gap, reduce OPEX, and de-risk roaming, multi-carrier estates. It also highlights why only 19% of carriers say they have a complete signaling security toolset, leaving enterprises exposed without self-service controls. You’ll also learn how connectivity providers are differentiating by offering integrated security & compliance as a service.

 

What you’ll learn:

 

  • Why security outranks cost and coverage as the top barrier to IoT scale.
  • How next-day CDRs and high-level session data create blind spots that delay detection and drive up costs.
  • Why only 19% of MNO/MVNOs report complete signaling defenses and what that means for enterprise risk.
  • Real-world abuse patterns, from EV chargers pulled into botnets to PoS SIMs used for streaming.
  • How emerging regulations (EU CRA, NIST IT 8563, UNECE R155) raise the bar for continuous monitoring and proof of control.
