Aeris , a global leader in providing secure cellular IoT platforms and solutions , announced the world’s first fully integrated cellular IoT security solution, Aeris IoT Watchtower , which provides enterprises with greater visibility and control over their IoT environments to prevent IoT security breaches, minimize the impact of incidents, improve operational efficiency and ensure regulatory compliance.
Aeris’ innovative solution comes at a critical time. IoT devices are now a prime target for cyber attackers. According to Deloitte ‘s 2024 Cyber Threat Landscape Report, IoT malware attacks will increase by 400% across industries. Furthermore, Forrester predicts that “in 2025, a major IoT security breach will occur, affecting large numbers of devices.”
“Aeris is committed to delivering the best possible IoT security solutions to our customers,” said Aziz Benmalek, CEO of Aeris, who recently joined the company to lead its expansion into IoT security.
“Enterprises can no longer afford to put IoT security on the back burner. As cyber attacks against IoT devices proliferate and threats become increasingly sophisticated, businesses need proactive and scalable solutions. Aeris IoT Watchtower is the first solution to provide enterprises and mobile operators with network-based visibility and zero trust security so they can securely deploy cellular IoT programs around the world.”

Aeris IoT Watchtower Delivers Real-Time Network-Based Visibility and Security
Aeris IoT Watchtower consists of two key components:
- Aeris IoT Watchtower Awareness : Gain deep visibility into IoT device behavior and communications traffic to identify threats in real time, improve operational efficiency and ensure regulatory compliance.
- Aeris IoT Watchtower Enforcement : Enables network and security administrators to enforce secure access control policies based on identified risks, enabling deployments aligned with zero trust security principles.
Aeris IoT Watchtower is seamlessly integrated with Aeris IoT Accelerator, the market-leading cellular IoT connection management platform provided by Aeris following the acquisition of Ericsson’s global IoT business in 2023. Aeris partners with 30 mobile operators to monitor the destination, port and protocol of every data session in real time. Leveraging Aeris’ proprietary AI and known threat database, Aeris IoT Watchtower provides real-time threat detection and attack prevention policies based on zero trust networking, as well as attack containment and isolation tools.
“Aeris is committed to delivering the best possible service to our customers,” said Jonathan Connet, Chief Product Officer at Aeris.
“Aeris IoT Watchtower gives businesses complete visibility into the cyber risk of their IoT devices and the tools they need to prevent them from becoming victims of attacks. What’s more, there’s no deployment burden as it integrates directly into the normal cellular data path, without the need for agents, special SIM cards or proxies.”
