IoT Security

IoT security with Kilo Connectivity — private global IPX, IPSec VPN, Cloud Connect, SIM-based Root of Trust.

Best-in-Class Security at Every Stage of Connectivity

Security is critical to the success of any IoT deployment. At Kilo, we provide a multi-layered, defense-in-depth security model—from device authentication to network transport and cloud integration. Our platform is built to detect threats, protect data, and ensure trust across your entire global IoT ecosystem.

Did you know? Security concerns delay or halt over 85% of IoT projects. Kilo helps ensure that yours won’t be one of them.

End-to-End Data Protection

Kilo ensures your IoT data is secure in transit and at rest:

  • Private global IPX network: All data is routed through Kilo’s secure backbone, bypassing the public internet.

  • IPSec VPN support: Secure your backend infrastructure with encrypted tunnels to individual SIMs or device groups.

  • Cloud Connect: Establish secure, direct links between your IoT deployment and leading cloud providers (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud).

Intelligent Threat Detection

Kilo actively monitors and protects across all layers of your IoT stack:

  • Device layer: Detect unusual SIM behavior or device connections.

  • Network layer: Real-time detection of signaling threats such as DoS, interception, or tracking attempts.

  • Application layer: Integrate with third-party platforms like Azure Sphere or IoT Defense to extend protection into your app ecosystem.

Threats are identified early, allowing you to block, throttle, or suspend compromised SIMs automatically through the Kilo platform.

Secure SIM Technology

Device Authentication and Binding

Prevent unauthorized devices from entering your network:

  • Assign unique IDs to every device and monitor them in the Kilo console.

  • Lock SIMs to approved devices—rendering stolen SIMs unusable in any other hardware.

SIM as the Root of Trust

Kilo follows the GSMA SAFE (IoT SIM Applet for Secure End-to-End Communication) standard, enabling your SIM to act as a secure hardware root of trust. This unlocks:

  • Cryptographic-grade security from chip to cloud

  • Standardized APIs for secure provisioning and device authentication

  • Zero-touch onboarding with reduced operating costs

  • Minimization of fraud and unauthorized access

Core Network Security

Our advanced mobile core network continuously monitors and protects against evolving threats:

  • 24/7 real-time attack detection and logging

  • SIM signaling attack prevention (e.g., profile hijacking, fake location tracking, DoS)

  • Automated remediation actions to limit impact and stop lateral spread

Secure SIM Management Platform

Security is built into the Kilo management layer:

  • Isolated infrastructure: Separate IoT traffic from public internet flows

  • Firewall-enforced architecture

  • Role-based access control and abnormal behavior alerts

  • Audit logging for transparency and traceability

Penetration Testing & Validation

Kilo conducts regular penetration tests, reverse engineering assessments, and validation of both data in transit and at rest to ensure system resilience before and after deployment.

This proactive testing ensures your project is prepared for real-world threats and continuously improves as new risks emerge.

With Kilo, you get peace of mind and enterprise-grade protection—built-in from day one.
