The Threat of IIoT Cyber Attacks

In the case of many industrial settings, the IIoT is considered the answer for numerous challenges. The connectivity that’s the result of it assists in efficiency, productivity, and profitability. When it comes to utilities, IIoT helps manage the demand, and for public infrastructure, it can help governments in delivering better services, which include public safety as [...]

The Use Scenarios for IIoT Edge Are Defined, but Not the Standards

In any IIoT, edge computing occurs wherever it needs to, and the business itself determines when and where computing happens. That was the conclusion of the Industrial Internet Consortium’s (IIC) report. Where edge computing happens depends on the amount of data, security needs, reasons for data processing, and the deadlines. In addition to its versatility, edge [...]

The Main Reasons Behind IIoT Vulnerability to Cyberattacks
