Industrial Control Systems face a persistent and worsening cyber threat that existing standards fail to fully address. According to Joseph Weiss, PE, CISM, CRISC and ISA Fellow, malware such as CrashOverride, BlackEnergy, and Havex has targeted…
Petya ransomware spreads by exploiting the EternalBlue vulnerability in Microsoft Windows, the same flaw used by WannaCry weeks earlier. ICS cybersecurity experts, including Dr. Ulrich Lang of ObjectSecurity, Edgard Capdevielle of Nozomi Networks, and Bryan Singer…
A successful IoT ecosystem depends on three core elements: an IoT platform, market expectations, and network effects. APIs, partner communities, and revenue models serve as drivers that transform a connected product into a scalable ecosystem, as…
Predictive maintenance outperforms reactive and preventive strategies, with the U.S. Department of Energy reporting savings of 30-40% over reactive approaches and 8-12% over preventive ones. Machine learning and vibration analysis are reshaping how these programs scale,…
Augmented reality (AR) delivers measurable gains for industrial companies by equipping frontline workers with real-time information through smart glasses. According to Brian Ballard, CEO of Upskill, AR technology at Boeing drove a 25-percent improvement in production…
Drones serve as the aerial eye of the construction jobsite, helping field engineers survey sites, perform cut-and-fill analysis, and monitor project progress faster than traditional workflows allow. PCL Construction, for example, captured an entire Florida jobsite…
Ben Wolff, Chairman and CEO of Sarcos, describes the current moment in industrial robotics as a "Golden Age," driven by advances in computer vision, artificial intelligence, edge computing, and falling hardware costs. Robots are moving beyond…
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) poses direct questions for ICS cybersecurity standards. The ISA99 committee, which governs the ISA and IEC 62443 series, has identified over 500 normative security requirements, with at least 125 addressing…
Joseph Weiss is an industry expert on control systems and electronic security of control systems, with more than 40 years of experience in the energy industry. Mr. Weiss spent more than 14 years at the Electric…
Securing Industrial IoT (IIoT) is harder than securing traditional IT systems because IIoT devices, which include Industrial Control Systems (ICS), Operational Technology (OT), building automation, sensors, and embedded systems, follow no single security standard. They often…
What Are Digital Twins? A digital twin is a digital representation of a physical object. Simple cases involve sensor readings such as temperature or RPMs, while complex cases cover expensive capital assets including diesel engines, turbines,…
Saar Yoskovitz, an avid entrepreneur, has extensive experience in machine learning, signal processing algorithms and system architecture. Prior to founding Augury, Saar worked as an analog architect at Intel. Saar holds a Bachelor of Science in…
