In-brief: Another security-focused startup targeting the Internet of Things: Qadium, which promises to be a Google Street View for Internet connected devices.

We wrote last week about Senrio, the venture funded startup that can identify embedded devices and other “Internet of Things” endpoints lurking on your network. Now Forbes and Xconomy pick up on news of another, similar-sounding startup: Qadium.
