A RSS news feed containing the latest Hubble Connected articles https://www.hubbleconnected.co.uk/ en-gb https://www.hubbleconnected.co.uk/blog/safe-and-secure-baby-monitors-and-nursery-products We at Hubble Connected understand how important safety and security is for parents when deciding on a baby monitor.   Hubble Connected Data & Video Encryption Parents are always more cautious and worried about their baby's privacy when data is transmitted over the internet, stored on cloud infrastructure, and processed in the cloud. Utilizing SSL/TLS certificates specified as “https” helps us ensure that user’s data in transit remains protected and uncompromised.   Hubble uses Orbweb Connect for our live-streaming, which is certified by the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program (CAVP).   Our platform uses X509/PKI for client authentication and for initiating a secure communication channel from client to device.   Making sure Hubble IoT is secure doesn’t stop at software design and development.   Multi-Factor Authentication and Session Management Hubble’s IOT platform has an extra layer of verifying the user’s identity before allowing critical resources access. Usernames and passwords are vulnerable to brute force attacks and can be stolen by third parties using different methods so Hubble uses OTP (one time password) based authentication process which is sent to user’s email and mobile number during login. Apart from this, Hubble’s platform provides more transparency about session (who else has logged in and when) and resource authorization.   Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks DDoS is a category of malicious cyber-attacks that hackers or cybercriminals employ to make an online service unavailable to its intended users on the Internet, which is considered as like an unexpected traffic jam clogging up the highway, preventing regular traffic from arriving at its destination. Hubble IoT Platform has enrolled in the AWS advanced shield program, which manages DDoS protection services that safeguards the applications running on AWS & AWS WAF, helping us in protecting our resources (websites and API’s) by monitoring and filtering out threats that cause potential risk to our resources.   Over the air firmware updates While IP cameras and other IOT device firmware can be updated manually, the vast distribution of IoT-enabled devices like baby monitors, make manual update processes unfeasible and impractical. Hubble Connected has over the years in its IOT framework built a secure, robust and reliable wireless over-the-air update mechanism for all of the IOT devices it produces.   Hubble have ensured that all the firmware updates are signed and encrypted firmware OTA files for protecting against intellectual property theft and getting access to system design.   Secure Mobile App Parents use their smart phones to view their little ones and access other connected features which are provided by Hubble platform via the HubbleClub App, and we are committed to providing the most secure platform to our users. Mobile malware causes vulnerabilities and bugs in the infrastructure and design of the application, so our app is written in such a way that it detects and eliminates security vulnerabilities in the code and is immune against reverse engineering.   ISO 27001:2013, ISO 27017:2015 and GDPR ISO/IEC 27001:2013 specifies the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an information security management system within the organization's context. ISO/IEC 27017:2015 is an information security code of practice for cloud services. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a European Union regulation on data protection and privacy in the EU and the European Economic Area (EEA). Hubble establishes, implements, maintains, and continually improves an information security management system (ISMS) within the organization. https://www.hubbleconnected.co.uk/blog/safe-and-secure-baby-monitors-and-nursery-products Thu, 13 Mar 2025 14:42:00 +0000 Hubble Connected https://www.hubbleconnected.co.uk/blog/a-new-parents-christmas-survival-guide A New Parent’s Christmas Survival Guide How to help your baby sleep on the move at Christmas.   Tami Wornham, Hubble’s resident baby sleep consultant and founder of The Baby Days, says there are things that you can do to help your baby sleep on the move. ‘Firstly, time your baby’s naps so they can sleep in the car if you can. Secondly, if you’re out and about, consider using a sling or carrier so your tot can sleep while you work through your to-do list. Finally, a Snooze shade and white noise can help your little one nap on the go. White noise helps babies sleep because it mimics womb sounds and creates a relaxing, familiar environment, leaving them feeling safe and at ease.   Things you should take with you if you’re traveling with a baby this Christmas.   If you are travelling this Christmas, be that locally or abroad, there some things you would benefit from packing in your suitcase (you can thank us later!

When you’re on the move, we highly recommend bringing your baby monitor with you. Clothes your baby should wear on December nights to keep warm.   While you might be tempted to dress your baby in a cute reindeer onesie, it’s important that their sleepwear is safe and keeps them at an optimum temperature throughout December – not too warm, not too cold. Tami suggests that parents invest in a sleep bag with an appropriate tog and a soft sleep suit to go under the sleep bag. Meanwhile, it’s important that the crib area is kept safe. You can check your baby’s temperature and see if they’re too cold by placing your hand on their tummy or back.
