 Gluu joins Open Interconnect Consortium to
help Design Internet of Things security

• The OIC is led by Intel Corp., Cisco Systems
  Inc., MediaTek, Samsung Electronics and other
  industry leaders to promote open standards and
  open source software to enable a secure
  interoperable Internet of Things (IoT) future.
•  
• Gluu announced today its participation in the
  Open Interconnect Consortium (OIC), a group of
  industry leaders from a broad range of markets
  working together to enable the Internet of Things
  (IoT). Gluu, an open source security company,
  will be working with other member organizations
  to build a framework for secure and interoperable
  authentication and authorization using existing
  and new open Web standards for the billions of
  devices and APIs set to fuel the IoT.
•  
• Although IOT presents some new challenges, its
  important that we leverage the experiences of the
  last two decades of Web access management
  software, said Gluu CEO Mike Schwartz. The
  basic idea that a person or an organization needs
  to centrally control access to something has not
  changed. By promoting the use of open Web
  standards we can ensure that the billions of
  devices connecting to the Internet implement
  strong, modern security.
