Zero Trust, Zero Downtime: Building Secure Connectivity Networks for Critical IoT Verticals
Critical infrastructure can't afford a weak link in security or uptime. Yet most Industrial IoT deployments still run on traditional models that can leave operations exposed and vulnerable. Building truly secure IoT networks requires security to a design element at the device or endpoint level, enforced across the connectivity layer, and sustained through intelligent, redundant network architecture, while being managed easily by those needing that control.
In this webinar, FreeWave Technologies, Velocity IoT, and floLIVE come together to show how organizations operating in critical verticals like energy, utilities, oil and gas, manufacturing, and beyond can build secure connectivity networks from the ground up. The foundation is a rugged gateway with AI-capable edge compute and embedded zero trust protection that continuously authenticates every endpoint, microsegments network connections, and eliminates static IP exposure so data never touches the public internet. It also operates worldwide with failover in cases where connectivity is spotty and coverage is needed – as in most remote network areas. All with the capability, security, management, and control that industrial operations demand.

In this session, you'll learn how to:
- Build security into the network: See how zero trust enforces continuous authentication, end-to-end encryption, and microsegmentation at the device level making every connected asset or endpoint, from sensors and PLCs to pumps and valves or devices, a verified, isolated identity with no standing attack surface.
- Eliminate connectivity as a single point of failure: Understand the risks of traditional connectivity and deployments models and how intelligent network failover, global multi-carrier capabilities, and how to build in-country multi-network redundancy keep critical operations online, automatically switching between available connections, from rural oil fields to urban grids.
- Design Industrial IoT systems that are resilient at scale: Align edge security, deployment strategy, and connectivity to create systems that are secure, self-healing, and always connected.
