There is an unspoken rule in manufacturing technology that overrides every software license, every boardroom mandate, and every digital transformation roadmap. It is the OT Veto. This isn’t a failure of leadership or vision. It is…
Manufacturers today face a critical gap: factories are full of dashboards showing vibration graphs, torque curves, and temperature plots, yet critical equipment still fails unexpectedly. Experts from InfluxData, CGI, Bosch, and Trask identify the fix: moving…
At the AI Frontiers event, the session “Agentic AI & Integrated Data Workflows: Extracting Value from Existing Manufacturing Systems” drew an engaged audience eager to probe real-world challenges. Their questions cut straight to the heart of…
Cybersecurity in manufacturing has evolved far beyond firewalls and network segmentation. As operational technology (OT) environments become increasingly connected to enterprise IT systems, the most significant vulnerability is no longer technical; it is cultural. In this…
In today’s interconnected industrial landscape, ensuring regulatory compliance and securing industrial control systems (ICS) is more critical than ever. As industries face increasing scrutiny and cyber threats, organizations must adopt robust security measures and align with evolving regulations to protect…
Industrial cybersecurity is a critical focus area for the manufacturing sector, where legacy systems and digital transformation collide. This session, featuring experts from Fortinet, Orange Business, Enfo CyberSec, and Honeywell, explores solutions to secure OT (Operational Technology) networks and…
According to a forecast by Gartner, the number of IoT devices in use will reach 8.4 billion in 2017 and grow to a staggering 20.4 billion by 2020, and the market opportunity for IoT will reach…
Consumers want their work, home and mobile devices to communicate together to provide information that was previously not available from isolated systems. This desire is at the root of the Internet of Things (IoT). The rise…
What will it take? Will Operational Technology (OT) disappear as we know it today - morphed into the Informational Technology (IT) space where both areas are driven by the same disruptive technology of the IoE (Internet-of-Everything)?…
IT and OT convergence has been debated for over a decade, yet secure IIoT connectivity remains unfinished. Matt Morris of NexDefense traces how ICS/SCADA attacks, from Stuxnet through Industroyer and CrashOverride, forced organizations to move beyond…
