Viakoo Announces Breakthrough IoT Security Benchmarks with DFM-AutoMode

Sep 29, 2025

Viakoo today announced a breakthrough in IoT vulnerability remediation that renders traditional, time-consuming methods obsolete. With the release of Device Firmware Manager AutoMode (DFM-AutoMode), Viakoo is enhancing its flagship Viakoo Action Platform with an autonomous remediation solution powered by AI intelligence. This new capability shrinks an organization's IoT attack surface faster than any other security solution by dramatically accelerating the time to remediate known vulnerabilities.

While organizations rely on large-scale IoT systems to deliver profitability and streamline operations, most IT executives view IoT as the most insecure part of their infrastructure according to a survey of CISOs and IT leadership commissioned by Viakoo in 2024. The Viakoo Action Platform with DFM-AutoMode directly confronts this challenge through a streamlined autonomous process that discovers devices, identifies vulnerabilities, and then updates firmware after human approval, to maintain compliance across an entire IoT ecosystem with intelligent automation.

"Our purpose-built IoT remediation solution, now operating autonomously after human approval, is a game-changer," said Bud Broomhead, CEO and founder of Viakoo. "IoT cyber vulnerabilities have grown in volume and velocity where autonomous remediation is no longer optional in large scale IoT deployments — it's an essential. Viakoo ensures that enterprise IoT systems are maintained with maximum efficiency and secured effectively to protect an organization's people, property, and profitability."

Viakoo's ability to take large-scale IoT remediation from months to just minutes is a technological breakthrough built on extensive industry leadership and patented innovations. Viakoo’s strategy around AutoMode capabilities leverages insights from over 2 billion hours of product usage on Viakoo's IoT Security platform, benefiting from real-world experience across every major vertical. This deep expertise, combined with Viakoo's patent portfolio in IoT management, forms the basis for applying AI intelligence to automate and expand the impact of these innovations.

HD2055 Modular Barricade

Delta Scientific’s electric HD2055 modular shallow foundation barricade is tested to ASTM M50/P1 with negative penetration from the vehicle upon impact. With a shallow foundation of only 24 inches, the HD2055 can be installed without worrying about buried power lines and other below grade obstructions. The modular make-up of the barrier also allows you to cover wider roadways by adding additional modules to the system. The HD2055 boasts an Emergency Fast Operation of 1.5 seconds giving the guard ample time to deploy under a high threat situation.
A8V MIND

Hexagon’s Geosystems presents a portable version of its Accur8vision detection system. A rugged all-in-one solution, the A8V MIND (Mobile Intrusion Detection) is designed to provide flexible protection of critical outdoor infrastructure and objects. Hexagon’s Accur8vision is a volumetric detection system that employs LiDAR technology to safeguard entire areas. Whenever it detects movement in a specified zone, it automatically differentiates a threat from a nonthreat, and immediately notifies security staff if necessary. Person detection is carried out within a radius of 80 meters from this device. Connected remotely via a portable computer device, it enables remote surveillance and does not depend on security staff patrolling the area.
