To make Industry 4.0 work, manufacturers need to put cyber-safety first
In less than a decade, Industry 4.0 has gone from a little-understood buzzword to a major part of nearly every modern manufacturer’s operations, one which may be worth USD 165.5 billion by 2026. Today, it seems obvious that high-tech manufacturing requires networked devices, robotics, and constant cyber-physical optimisation, so much so that it’s hard to

Security measures are vital to defend and protect IoT devices and solutions, writes Pritam Shiravadekar, the product manager for value added services at Wireless Logic. It is natural to focus resource on prioritising breach prevention – everyone wants to avoid breaches – but companies mustn’t neglect detection. If they do, significant damage could be done
Read moreThe comprehensive guide to AI and ML’s transformative power
Media In our everyday life, it has become increasingly hard to avoid hearing the words ‘Artificial Intelligence (AI)’ and ‘Machine Learning (ML)’ whether in industry or academia. These technologies have entered our daily lives and are transforming most sectors of the economy, building new spheres of knowledge and practice, and ushering a new era in
Read moreRegulations, cybersecurity and AI concerns dominate enterprise considerations
In an era marked by profound shifts in the landscape, ranging from the cybersecurity complexities of hybrid work environments to the pervasive integration of AI, there’s now a necessity to look ahead and try to anticipate what’s to come, writes David Critchley, the regional director for UK and Ireland at Armis.
Read moreAre IoT Devices the Achilles Heel of OT Systems?
When implementing cybersecurity measures, IT systems are often the first consideration. Historically, cybercriminals have made IT systems the focus of their attacks in the hopes of hijacking sensitive, private data to hold for ransom or utilise for other nefarious means. Operational technology (OT) systems, on the other hand, have long been considered inherently secure and
