Silicon East

President: Marc Harrison

Silicon East, a managed IT services provider located in Manalapan, N.J., wants to become a leader in the Internet of Things market in one critical area – security.

The company provides support and monitoring solutions, but hopes to extend those services to address security requirements and concerns in building automation applications.

Silicon East provides external support for different components of building automation devices – from the heating vent and air (HVAC) systems, to security and alarm systems. In addition to working with connected buildings, Silicon East is also working to educate both clients and other channel players about the vulnerabilities that IoT devices inherently possess – and the critical role solution providers play in this space.

"I don’t feel there will be anyone better equipped to plug in these devices than us, as the solution providers," president Marc Harrison said.
