Regulatory compliance for connected devices represents a foundational business requirement for Original Equipment Manufacturers and asset operators. This IIoT World article maps the global regulatory landscape across IEC 62443, the EU Cyber Resilience Act, NIS2, and…
Regulatory compliance for industrial control systems (ICS) security has moved from a back-office concern to a boardroom priority. As manufacturing environments become more connected through IIoT sensors, edge devices, and cloud analytics, the attack surface expands…
Factory network infrastructure is the primary barrier to IIoT scalability, not the IIoT platform itself. At IIoT World's Manufacturing and Supply Chain 2024 event, Erika Franco of Cisco stated that predictive maintenance, AI-driven quality checks, and…
The energy sector faces a cybersecurity challenge unlike any other critical infrastructure domain. As utilities, oil and gas operators, and renewable energy providers accelerate digital transformation, the convergence of operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT)…
The industrial internet of things (IIoT) is reaching new heights. As the lines between operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) blur, companies are unlocking new standards of visibility and efficiency. However, this trend also has…
Industrial cybersecurity is evolving beyond firewalls, VPNs, and segmented networks. In this IIoT World analysis, we examine the emerging concept of networkless connectivity and what it means for operational technology (OT) environments that must defend against…
MQTT has become one of the most widely adopted messaging protocols in Industrial IoT, connecting sensors, actuators, and edge devices across manufacturing floors, energy grids, and critical infrastructure. However, its lightweight design introduces security challenges that…
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is evolving rapidly, bringing new opportunities and challenges for industrial organizations worldwide. Companies across manufacturing, energy, logistics, and transportation are embracing AI-driven automation, predictive analytics, and real-time data processing to optimize operations. However, scalability issues,…
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) continues to revolutionize industries, but with this growth comes an increased responsibility to secure these systems. During IIoT World's ICS Cybersecurity Day, our speakers shared their perspectives on IIoT Security,…
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has brought a lot of benefits and disruptive innovations. Despite this, there are 3 main IIoT project risks that prevent companies from adopting IIoT solutions: IIoT security; lack of open…
As more operational technology (OT) devices and industrial control systems (ICSs) are connected to information technology (IT) systems over the Internet, the attack surface expands to billions of insecure devices, many of which cannot be patched.…
Today’s sophisticated Operations Technology (OT) environments have a large attack surface with numerous attack vectors. Without complete coverage, the likelihood of getting attacked is not a matter of ‘if’; it’s a matter of ‘when’. Security for OT…
