Many of the discussions about the Internet of Things, or IoT, focus on the positives of having a connected home or a connected workplace. But there s also been a focus on the weaknesses and flaws in the IoT. High on that list is security and concerns about the safety and integrity of all those devices that we re connecting together.
If security problems can cause serious problems for consumers, compromised security for the Industrial IoT (IIoT) can be devastating for organizations involved and result in a significant reputational hit when devices are hacked, and even a shutdown if the attack is serious enough. As the world has become more connected over the past year, that has pushed IIoT security to the top of security professionals agenda.
