Toronto, ON, February 21, 2019 – Geotab, a global leader in IoT and connected transportation, is proud to announce the cryptographic module within its GO vehicle tracking device has been awarded FIPS 140-2 validation by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), with certificate #3371.
