Hackers are having increasing success penetrating the operating technology and industrial control systems underpinning data centers, utilities, manufacturing plants. As organizations incorporate smart devices, connect to the Internet of Things, and utilize the cloud to optimize performance, new attack vectors – and cyber vulnerabilities – are created. Skilled cybercriminals only need to find a single […]

Almost everyone that have tried to do some experiments with IoT projects have come across Node-RED, whether this was for a private hobby project or a business application. The reason is of course that Node-RED is a great tool, easy to get started with, large community support and free! At a first glance there are […]

The goal of IoT products should be to product insights, not data. Some people even argue that the reason to deploy IoT products is to produce and collect all this data, that the data in itself is what provides the value. I don’t think so. In this post, I describe the importance of having a data […]

Visit four doctors, and you’ll come home with five diagnoses. This saying can be transferred to the term Industry 4.0, where everybody has its own definition. Back in 2011 when the term Industrie 4.0 was introduced by the German government institution BMBF, the idea was very unique. It describes the fourth industrial revolution (after steam, […]

Currently, many companies view digital transformation as being technology-driven. Machine learning, cloud architecture, microservices, augmented reality, and IIoT platforms are just some of the technologies driving endless discussion among end users as well as fierce competition among solution providers. Often missing from these conversations is a focus on the human element of digital transformation. Where […]

More than half (54%) of the world’s current population resides in urban areas compared with just 30% in the 1950s. In 2009, the global population was estimated at 6.8 billion —around 3.7 billion lived in urban areas. By 2050, 66% of all people will be urban dwellers. Urbanization does not always occur organically. To accelerate […]

The inconvenient truth is that our current cybersecurity tools and methods are not a match for today’s sophisticated attackers who will target any exposed surface looking for vulnerabilities. Attackers need to only succeed once, while defenders must successfully protect their systems every time against all possible threats. Even the most security-conscious organizations aren’t immune to […]
