The Cybersecurity Implications of Infrastructure Modernization
The adoption of new technologies in oil and gas facilities is a dual-edged sword. On one side, there are the obvious benefits of implementing industrial internet of things (IIoT) devices to improve efficiencies and reduce operational…
Cybersecurity Q&A with ABB
According to a study by Inmarsat Enterprise that surveyed 125 businesses across the energy industry, 74% of respondents admitted that their processes to combat cybersecurity threats were lacking, while 73% of them reported that more could be done to protect…
How would you secure over 10 million IIoT devices?
Industrial IoT (IIoT) devices will comprise the majority of the billions of IoT devices deployed over the next decade. How will the information security market meet this onslaught of technology? The consumer market is not a…

[Research] Securing Smart Factories in the Era of Industry 4.0
Adopting Industry 4.0 means not only interconnecting IT and OT networks to build smart factories; it also means having shared responsibilities between IT administrators and OT engineers. These include accounting for assets such as equipment, underlying…
Main Challenges of Implementing IoT Security Standards
IoT, as we know it today, allows us to make our lives easier — but it is not 100% secure. It can be hard to understand why it’s so difficult to come up with a comprehensive…
Embracing DevSecOps with Automated Software Binary Security
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…
MQTT and CoAP: Security and Privacy Issues in IoT and IIoT Communication Protocols
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…
IoT Security: The Visibility of Assets in the Field
IoT security is a complex issue, especially in projects involving hundreds of edge devices in the field. Cloud security and edge security are two very different issues. Edge systems are isolated, and if there is a network…
