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 […]

The emergence of next generation technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), 5G, and data science, are poised to transform today’s cities into advanced smart cities. Electric utility companies, with their critical infrastructure and essential services, are well positioned to co-lead this transformation. While smart cities represent a major business opportunity […]

As billions of devices join industrial networks, the communication protocols that connect them become prime targets for cyberattacks. MQTT and CoAP are two of the most widely deployed messaging protocols in IoT and IIoT environments, yet each carries distinct security and privacy vulnerabilities that operations teams must understand and mitigate. In this IIoT World explainer, […]

Recorded version of “How IIoT Creates Real-Time Visibility for Manufacturing” webinar and Q&ACreating real-time visibility in operations is about delivering the right information at the right time to the right person. In today’s factories, manufacturing visibility is often limited because of disparate IT and OT systems, reports based on data from last week, and static, […]

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 rush […]

We all know something big is happening “out there” in industrial operations around the globe. Companies are going beyond standard practices in Continuous Improvement (CI) as they seek step change improvement. Among them, programs go by a range of names: Digital or Industrial Transformation, Industrie 4.0, Smart Manufacturing, and many others. Whatever your company calls […]

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 disruption the devices need to know how to protect themselves on an individual basis. At Litmus we’ve seen three […]

People, Process, & Technology on Two sides of the Same CoinWho should perform the security of the operations technology (OT) and industrial control system (ICS) in any given company? This is a question I commonly get, which is based on a need to identify the proper structure, governance, staffing, tooling, training, etc., of personnel in […]

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 […]
