IIoT Security Tag

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. That in turn creates

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 has gained significant attention

The growing attack surface of the new Industry 4.0 internet is a big problem. On this everyone agrees. But underneath the headlines and the frequent “patch now” warnings from firewall vendors is a more ominous reality few are talking about: the

The number of cyberattacks, data breaches and overall business disruption caused by unsecured IoT/IIoT devices are increasing because many companies don’t know the depth and breadth of the risk exposures they face when leveraging IoT devices and other emerging technologies. IoT

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 useful guide for this analysis.

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 cybersecurity standard for IoT.

I’ve been writing about OT cybersecurity for a while and, although a consistent part of the message is that the overall level of risk is high and rising, some positive developments should be acknowledged.  In particular, the past couple of

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 US$2 trillion by 2017.

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 of IoT started when
