Security and Peace of Mind
The Ioto solution uses local governance of device data, redundancy and encryption to safeguard your data.
Learn moreDevice Data
Your device data stays on your device. The embedded database stores data locally with encryption and schema validation. No external dependencies required.
Control and Privacy
Device-local data governance gives you 100% privacy and control. Your data never leaves the device unless you choose to share it.
Hardened Runtime
Safe runtime with protected strings, buffers and memory management. Battle-hardened via extensive peer review and fuzz testing over 20+ years.
Encrypted Communications
All communications are encrypted end-to-end and your device data and commands never transit another service or network. Device data is encrypted in transit.
Trusted Partner
"EmbedThis was great to work with and they played a critical role in designing and building our embedded web management application. They were well organized, knew how to cleanly walk through the process; guiding us each step of the way. They provided excellent support as we worked through the final details to modify the code before delivery to our customer."
