Convergence of OT and IT systems is placing higher demands on network reliability and performance. As cybersecurity threats challenging these systems become more sophisticated and impacting, industrial network owners are looking to integrated solutions to ensure both holistic security and business continuity.

Rather than fear the potential threat that come with IIoT projects, building security into the overall IoT architecture, and solving interoperability challenges will enable organisations to successful get their projects off the ground and take advantage of the innovative operational efficiencies they enable.

Special report in the Industrial Ethernet Book explores how manufacturing companies are leveraging new technology to protect machinery, networks and corporate data. Industry experts weigh in on the latest new technologies and applications.

Eurotech is collaborating with Infineon Technologies, Microsoft and GlobalSign to develop a ’chain of trust’ security solution for IoT device identities. The companies are working together to deliver zero touch provisioning for IoT applications, and to simplify large scale, secure roll outs of connected devices.

Technology solutions are providing companies ways to eliminate network vulnerabilities and strengthen security, bridging the gap between OT and IT and sparking widespread interest in industry. Although the focus is often on external attacks, internal threats can be just as damaging to industrial networks.

Digital Transformation in manufacturing can deliver business value by improving operations and using innovative services. The greatest risk lies in the manufacturer’s ability to secure the production environment and the end-to-end connectivity between the plant and the cloud-based services and remote users.

Experts in edge connectivity, industrial computing, and network infrastructure solutions offer advice on how to help leverage OT technology while minimizing cyber threats. With purpose-built and consolidated solutions, different players in the OT world are able to leverage the benefits of remote network management.

The convergence of Operational Technology (OT) with Information Technology (IT) has exposed many challenges for the industrial space, including increased vulnerability to cyber-attacks and network blindspots.

Adding an extra layer of defense-in-depth security, particularly for motion applications, is an inexpensive way to make a facility a more hardened target that will discourage malicious actors in the first place and help to slow them down long enough to enable other defenses to expose and expel them from…

Extending cyber security to the connected edge requires a strategy to effectively assess demands from each market and apply the right cyber security solutions to enable a secure device architecture congruent to the risk assessment within each application. A primary focus to address the industrial market is to develop solutions…
