If you’re like me, you might feel as if the industrial internet of things (IIoT) should be more of a thing by now. That’s not to say it isn’t panning out. IIoT applications are on the rise, and recent estimates anticipate as much as $14 trillion in additions “to global domestic product by 2030” thanks […]

DevOps came about with the understanding that software development and information technology operations work together to improve deployment frequency, while maintaining service stability. In this process, security was not often part of an original build, but rather “bolted on” afterwards. The new (and better) thinking is DevSecOps, which removes security from its silo and incorporates […]

Machine-to-machine (M2M) communication protocols, which enable machines to “talk” with one another so that commands are communicated and data is transmitted, are indispensable to applications and systems that make use of the internet of things (IoT) and the industrial internet of things (IIoT).Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) is a communication protocol widely used in both IoT and IIoT deployments. […]

A connected factory, a robotic arm, and a power drill walk into a bar. The bartender asks them for data. All three start yelling at the same time. The bartender walks out. The next day, his body is found in a trough of disillusionment outside the old Gartner place. The data wars had begun… Today, the […]

IoT is driving the next industrial revolution. But hackers now see the supply chain as an easy target. The challenge: to mitigate the risk and drive more efficient, connected production, but without neglecting to invest in security and training – a topic very much in focus on the agenda at Internet of Things World in […]

In this article we discuss how insecure deployments and the lack of well-defined security in M2M technology can be abused to turn into unforeseen problems in critical and large-scale environments like smart factories and cities.M2M technology forms the core of IIoT systems for maintaining smart factories and building smart cities. As more of these connected […]
