About Us
The Internet of Things (IoT) has the power to change our world. Billions of connected smart devices exchanging staggering volumes of data about how we live, work and play. Soon every device you own and interact with will be connected to the Internet. The number of connected devices is expected to surpass 21 billion by 2020.
These devices must be secure. They are not.
Making our lives easier, healthier, smarter, and our businesses more productive, comes with a cost. More often than not, the channels that enable devices to exchange information are not encrypted or otherwise protected from external access. Its akin to leaving your front door open; anyone can walk in any time. Phosphorus closes that door and keeps it locked up.
