It is a challenge to keep a fleet of embedded Linux edge devices secure, updated and connected. qbee.io is a hosted device management platform that includes remote VPN access and OTA software update capabilities. It handles configuration management and device automation. In addition, it also adds device metrics and CVE security analysis and hardening. Works also on regular Linux servers.
The IoT device management platform works vendor agnostic. Just install the qbee agent package. Different Linux agent packages are available as well as YOCTO support. In other words, this allows simple OTA software updates on a large fleet of devices.
Our dynamic VPN based remote access connection works across mobile networks, NATs and firewalls without the need for a fixed IP. For instance, you can tunnel any remote port to your local device. Above all, it allows simple remote VNC access or remote secure web server access. It is very easy to access a Node-Red UI behind a firewall. The VPN can be dynamically enabled or disabled for devices or groups of devices increasing security even further.
